Data journalists have traditionally thought of maps and spatial calculations as a job for special mapping software, like QGIS. But it's often more efficient to do GIS work within the same script that you perform the rest of your analysis.
In this session, you will see how easy it is to work with GIS within your code and share interactive maps with colleagues. To follow along, participants should have some experience in data journalism and a curiosity about the relationship between data and maps.
This session will introduce participants to a new world of possibilities for doing spatial analysis in code. While participants will benefit from simply observing, those who want to run the code should have R Studio installed
