The first four weeks of the module focus on the Leaflet Javascript mapping library. Unit 1 is primarily an introduction to the module, but we will also look at HTML and Leaflet basics.

Unit 2 is an introduction to the JavaScript programming language. In this collection, we will focus on: basic language elements; programme statements; adding JavaScript to webpages; debugging.

This week is all about adding to the basic Leaflet Map you created in Unit 1: altering marker style and adding multiple markers. We will also begin to think about efficiency and redundancy and the benefits of modularity.

In this unit you will put the skills you have learnt so far into practice by creating a map of Blue Plaques in Leeds. We will: consider how to handle a 'messy' dataset & convert data into the correct projection for use in a web-based map.
