Data journalists have traditionally thought of maps and spatial calculations as a job for special mapping software, like QGIS. But it's often more efficient to do GIS work in the script in which you perform the rest of your analysis.
In this class, you will see how easy it is to work with maps within your code.
The class will be taught in R, so some familiarity is recommended, but the skills are generic to all languages.
