Web Mapping 1

We are going to be making web maps using Mapbox GL JS. This is a recent javascript library that uses WebGL to render interactive maps from vector tiles (as opposed to raster tiles) created with Mapbox Studio. Data for these maps comes from OpenStreetMap.This tutorial will introduce you to the basic setup and what it feels like to develop for a web browser. This will be a very different approach than our experience with QGIS, and it is much more prone to error given the number of new concepts and syntaxes involved. Brackets, commas, quotes, and colons... stay with it—it's ok if you dont understand what everything is doing at first.
