Interested in helping? You can:
* Edit the Saturday projects on Github
* Download the files from Github, try them out, and send feedback to shaunagm (at gmail dot com)
To Do (in rough chronological order):
Line 12 ⟶ 16:
Three project ideas:
* API project -
* Stats project -
* Graphical project (visualizing data) - Shauna
Projects should be:
Line 37 ⟶ 41:
* Show examples of querying - how to look for intersects, unions, if-then, etc.
* Maybe link it to a simple display - html page?
'''Notes'''
Use [http://www.codecademy.com/courses/python-intermediate-en-6zbLp this intro to APIs] as inspiration?
===Stats project===
Line 59 ⟶ 66:
* Options:
** Matplotlib - possibly hard to install? But maybe install it on our own server and have attendees access it.
** Maybe do two visualizations - a straightforward/simple scatterplot or pie chart (ugh) and then a more complicated (and abstracted away) map
** Use [http://www.census.gov/housing/ahs/ american household survey data]? Use this [https://github.com/sunlightlabs/census census wrapper]?
** Things to visualize:
*** Two non-categorical variables, for the scatter plot, for instance average income of an area by some other value.
*** Things that vary by state, that we can show color-coded on a map: income, ethnic diversity, occupations, age
