Assignment 9: JavaScript

Resources

• Here's a video I made on using JavaScript to make CartoDB maps.
• CartoDB has a CartoDB.js tutorial that might be too in-depth for now, but it still might help.
• The the CartoDB.js documentation is pretty exhaustive and will cover way more than you need to know.
• The Mozilla Developer Network contains an excellent JavaScript reference.

Part 1: JavaScript

You're not expected to fully know JavaScript for this course. However, being able to find answers to JavaScript questions and understand the fundamentals will make the next two weeks much easier for you. With that in mind, explore the introductory lessons from one of the following JavaScript courses:

• Khan Academy
• Codecademy
• Eloquent JavaScript

Part 2: CartoDB.js

Replace the embedded visualization on your web page from Assignments 7 and 8. Use CartoDB.js to add a visualization in place of the iframe-embedded map.

Submitting your work

Submit a screenshot showing that you've explored some JavaScript learning options for Part 1.
