OC: Real-Time Maps with JavaScript, Raspberry Pi, and HERE XYZ w/Nic Raboy

Hi JavaScriptLA fans. Hope you enjoyed the livestream we did with Nic. Hope you'll find time to watch it and come prepared as we are going to be diving a step deeper.

You can arrive at CoStar around 5:30 PM as we have the rooftop reserved so if you arrive early we'll have appetizers and we'll more time to network too, before getting started at 7:00 pm. It’s pretty cool up there.

At 7PM sharp, we'll start with:
The Raspberry Pi is a powerful, yet portable, computer that is compatible with many hardware modules, making it a desirable Internet of Things (IoT) device. Pair it with JavaScript and Node.js and you have powerful applications on a very capable device.

HERE XYZ is a cloud-based data management service for location data, making it a powerful tool when combined with many IoT projects.

In this session we'll explore how to collect GPS data with a Raspberry Pi and Node.js, then display it in real-time as the data is collected, on an interactive map using HERE XYZ.
