Python World Map Geovisualization Dashboard using Covid Data

This guided project is for absolute beginners in data science who want to learn about geovisualization using Python. Generate two interactive maps in under an hour, just like this: https://vinitasilaparasetty.github.io/covid-map/ While you are watching me code, you will get a cloud desktop with all the required software pre-installed. This will allow you to code along with me. After all, we learn best with active, hands-on learning. By the end of this project, you will know how to access data via APIs, convert encoded UTF-8 data to JSON, normalize json data to create a pandas data frame, generate a choropleth map, generate markers, work with geo data and generate heat maps. Special Features: 1) Learn a cool hack using one line of code to convert a jupyter nootebook into a dashboard. 2) Work with "COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University" 3)After you complete this project, you get a jupyter notebook of all the work you covered (including gifs). It acts as a useful learning tool that you can refer to at any time in the future. 4) Important terminology and definitions are explained. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
