Introduction to Python language and Google Colab for spatial data visualization and analysis

This workshop, Introduction to Python language and Google Colab for spatial data visualization and analysis, is a Professional Geospatial Workshop organised by the Geospatial Lab of Hong Kong.

The workshop aims to let attendances without prior knowledge in coding grasp a taste of Python. Therefore, not much theoretical knowledges are covered. The rundown workshop is organised in a way for attendances to make maps immediately. In that way, their motivation could stay high (they could see the product, easily) when need to learn less-fun aspects of spatial data afterwards.

Contents of the workshop includes:

• A (very) quick intro to Python
• Using Google Colab for Jupyter Notebooks
• Create static maps with matplotlib and contextily
• Create interactive, dynamic maps with folium
