Description
This course introduces web developers to the Mapbox JavaScript API, a fully featured, flexible alternative to the Google Maps API. Mapbox provides both tile-based and vector maps (a point of difference from the Google Maps API). Developers will learn how to add maps to their applications, how to alter the visual style of the maps, how to overlay a variety of geospatial data on the maps, and how to implement features requiring interactivity.
