30 Maps in 30 days with Python
The #30DayMapChallenge is an increasingly popular phenomenon, started on Twitter just 2 years ago by Topi Tjukanov, where he encourages fellow geo folks to make a map to different themes each day during the month of November. In this talk we introduce the MapChallenge and describe how to solve all the challenges within the available Python/PyViz geospatial library ecosystem, including packages, themes, challenges, gotchas and revelations during making 30 maps in 30 days.
