Mapping & Protomaps

This course covers what you need to build interactive, publication-ready maps — from basic setup to custom Protomaps basemaps, vector data overlays, and deployment. Whether you're a journalist, researcher, or developer, you'll finish with a toolkit, code and a couple of working example projects.

Originally created for the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas, the class is now available here — though without the quizzes, certificate and online guidance from me.

The course originally spanned four weeks, but all of the videos are available now — and you can go at whatever pace works for you. If you hit any snags, reach out to me at john (at) reallygoodsmarts (dot) nyc.
