- JeffJenkins 13y agoI'm signed up for it. I've been toying around with CartoDB for a while and it's totally awesome. I put together a map of truck routes vs bike routes in NYC in about 10 minutes, where my only experience was having only seen a short demo of CartoDB.
- andrewxhill 13y agoThat's awesome Jeff. Do you have a link to your map? I'd love to see it. Would be cool to try and put some moving bikes on it now :) http://blog.cartodb.com/post/66687861735/torque-is-live-try-it-on-your-cartodb-maps-today http://blog.cartodb.com/post/66687861735/torque-is-live-try-...
- JeffJenkins 13y agoI'm going to blog about it soonish. I'll cc you on twitter
- mejackreed 13y agoIt's great to see these type of offerings that are coming out in the geospatial arena. CartoDB free web mapping course + Mapbox redesign and webapp, these new companies are really doing cool things!
- larrydag 13y agoFor those in the Dallas area I'm doing a presentation on Map Visualizations using R this Sat. Nov. 16 http://www.meetup.com/Dallas-R-Users-Group/ http://www.meetup.com/Dallas-R-Users-Group/
- cheriot 13y ago$149/month for a 500MB database is a bit much. Nice idea, though.
- unreal37 13y agoCan it be called a course if it's a 1-1/2 hour webinar? Do courses require more than one session? I do love maps though and this is an interesting topic.
- andrewxhill 13y agoI will give more for sure!
- andrewxhill 13y agoActually, a bit more info on that. The date was chosen by a public doodle poll that I spread around via email and twitter. I was thinking about posting a new poll at the end of the class so that all participants could vote on when the second session would happen :)
- PLenz 13y agoI built a heat-map demo in CartoDB a while ago. Very nice tool - if a bit pricy if you need more data then free service level can provide.
- andrewxhill 13y agoActually... we just passed 3000 :)
