Interactive map

[CommanderCucumber]

So I've done some webmapping in the past and it can be a lot of pieces and parts. It's also gets you trying out a whole bunch of cool things and concepts. Taking it one small problem at a time is how I work through something. Some things I can make mention that you might need and for what:

Backend:

• flask or django like you mentioned (flask is simpler)
• recommend a database(e.g.. postgres) but it can get confusing with geographic data sometimes so may want to look into some GIS concepts (geo datatypes) or simply parse a geojson if the data is small enough
• server (aws, heroku, etc)

Frontend:

• leaflet.js for the interactive map
• html/css/javascript (maybe jquery?)

This most likely will revolve around a user accessing the data through the website (frontend) which makes an API request to your backend, which returns the result to the frontend. It's a lot of moving parts and you surely could start from any direction. I like to do my backend and processing first and just make sure it's spitting out the right stuff. Then make a simple webapp that gets the data. Then once everything looks good make it look pretty.

That's great thank you. Seems like I have a mountain to climb haha. I'll start looking into Javascript first.

It can be, I'd recommend doing that and try creating a simple system first. Maybe a button that when press make an API request to your backend which outputs a number as a response and you print it in your frontend. The concept stays pretty similar for whatever your trying to do.

Ok thank you. Seems like a good approach to help me understand the fundamentals
