Mapping with Folium

Christos Christodoulou will show how to easily add mapping functionality to your geo-savvy Python applications.

When working with geospatial data, it is very helpful to visualise them on maps, to get more insights about them. Folium (http://python-visualization.github.io/folium/) is a Python library that allows to visualize such data on interactive leaflet maps from various providers. In this presentation, we will have a look on some of the features provided by Folium such as plotting GeoJSON files, creating heatmaps with time dimension, etc. plus a few cool examples.

Some additional show-cases for using Folium, like including map tiles by some other map provider, will likely be presented by others during lightning talks.

Lightning Talks

Usually there will also be the opportunity to give lightning talks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_talk). Please consider giving one and register yours on this EtherPad (https://pad.freitagsrunde.org/Byw0QbBOjQ)...

Restaurant

At about 8:45 pm we might move to a nearby restaurant.
