Course Overview
Data | Plugins | Layouts | Interactivity
In this course, mapping expert and founder of Mapster, Victor Temprano, takes you through LeafletJS from start to finish. You'll learn the best reasons why you should use Leaflet, how to build strong mapping interfaces, managing big data, map interactivity, and a heck of a lot more.
Leaflet is a flexible platform that will serve you well in creating map-focused applications, and learning its system will help you significantly in your development career as well as help you understand other mapping APIs. Although Leaflet is a little older when it comes to mapping APIs, its core logic is consistent and well-documented.
This course will take you through from never having touched Leaflet, all the way to building relatively advanced interfaces that incorporate geocoding, plugins, routing, and a variety of interactivity. With this, you should get the toolkit you need in order to build the application that you're imagining in your project!
This is a comprehensive course that covers basic things like markers and popups, but also goes into depth on event handling and provides a variety of helpful tips for more complex topics. We've striven to make this course as useful as possible for beginners, and we're open to feedback if you have any suggestions for more episodes!

I think this is great. Have watched a number of YouTube videos on leaflet but they don't give the full picture and why things are like they are - you need that knowledge to be able to make decisions so will eventually save time as you should be able to make informed choices about whether Leaflet will do what you need it to do.

The course is good and covers all the basic funtionalities for leaflet library. The slider UI & filtering section is probably the best part in this course. However , there are few things that need improvement as follows; Aesthetically very ugly looking visualization picked up for this course. A sub-regional or country level geojson data should've been better with at least 100+ points to have a better looking visualization especially for cluster maps. Few sections of the code are outdated for e.g. it only takes 04 lines of code to plot cluster maps as follows; var marker = L.markerClusterGroup(); var points = L.geoJSON(sites); points.addTo(marker); marker.addTo(map); However , the one given in the course is either outdated or requires clean-up/optimization

One of the best courses with hands on coding I have ever seen. Would be better if scaling up in the "Big Data" lecture is clarified a bit more with concrete performance improvements.
