Creating Custom Web Maps (Udemy.com)

The material was thorough. The instructor spoke clearly and was easy to understand. Unfortunate that the Mapbox portion was out of date. Had to do my own troubleshooting to complete the Mapbox portion of the training.

Very easy to understand and very clearly explained, useful especially at the beginning. On the other hand the course is now pretty dated and some passages you will have to search out by yourself, particularly regarding Mapbox.

This may be a bit outdated, but still extremely useful. I put the speed on 1.5 which fit for the instructor and my absorption of the content. It serves as a beautiful overview of Leaflet, Mapbox and the overall concepts of maps on the web. For understanding how the pieces all fit together, and to demo how simple it can be, this is the best place to start. As a side benefit, in going through the course I've filled in a few holes in my knowledge of JS. With simple practical examples, and how he steps through the code to say what does what, it cemented some rather abstract pieces that normal JS courses usually give trivial and hard to follow examples on. Here you learn that as a consequence - a great reason to start here as well if you plan to build any map based apps.

Ok, debo empezar diciendo que llegue aquí buscando y esperando más aprendizaje respecto al uso de mapbox, el instructor toca el tema de mapbox pero no profundiza mucho respecto a su uso, solo lo muestra y enseña como un plugin para leaflet. Aún así lo que enseña durante todo el curso es muy bueno e interesante, es muy conciso y su voz es muy suave de seguir y poner atención, creo que me enamoré más de su voz. En conclusión es un buen curso para crear webmaps usando leaflet, si buscas específicamente como usar mapbox (a fondo) no lo recomiendo tanto.

Great intro course to custom web map development. Perhaps you can create a course on MapBox GL if you haven't yet. I don't have a ton of JS experience yet, but this course got me up and running with JS basics for web mapping in no time.

The concepts are well explained and he does a great job of stopping to describe the actions that he took. Mapbox has changed dramatically since the creation of these videos but you can still download “Mapbox Classic” and follow along with the instructor. I’ve learned a lot and plan to reference these videos often when creating web mapping projects.

It's a good class. That said, I'm not a developer and I would have liked five or ten minutes discussion about how you start a project when you've never done a map before. Like where will the map be hosted? Shortcuts for adding markers. Etc.

A good (brief) introduction to web maps. Instruction is very clear. Some chapters need to be updated. In particular, Mapbox has changed its Studio from desktop to web application. It's not too hard to apply the concepts to the new software, but you can't help feeling a bit short changed. Would increase rating if some of the videos were updated to reflect this.

I found this course interesting and helpful. The concepts and processes were explained clearly, building on what went before. It is in need of an update: a number of the sites have changed, but it is still possible to follow along with a little hunting. However, the instructor is nowhere to be seen.

This was a fantastic brief tutorial on Leaflet, Mapbox, and OpenStreetMap. The lecturer gives just enough information to get you going with these tools. Adding additional information on website integration would have been helpful, but it's not totally necessary for the course.
