Why take this course?

Welcome to the Introduction to Maps in Folium and Python Course. In this course we will be

exploring the different capabilities of the folium library. Folium is a python mapping library that

allows you to create maps rapidly with very little and easy to understand code. We will use this

library to create a variety of maps for multiple use cases. We will be exploring the most useful

objects that the folium library has to offer ranging from Markers, Points, Measure Controls, Tiles,

Web Map Tile Services, Layers and much more.

We will also do a bit of preprocessing with the pandas library, in order to prepare our data for

meeting the requirements of the maps that we will be building. By using the full capabilities of the

tools we will be using, one can build very advanced map applications with very few lines of code.

This course is useful to all levels of experience from beginner to advanced professionals and is very

easy to get started with. There are no complex installations and configurations required, as we will

use a single platform that includes everything we need such as jupyter notebook.

It is only required that you have python 3 installed and anaconda, as well as an internet connection,

in order to download our datasets and libraries. Any operating system is applicable as long as you

are able to run jupyter notebooks and use the python 3 compiler. This course is done on a windows

10 machine. After you build your maps you will learn how to share them with anyone.

This is a good course how to handle geospacial data in python, definitely recommended. Small minuses: voice of the teacher is very low, difficult to hear. Code even when executed by the teacher gives sometimes warnings of deprication. It is better not to ignore and fix it at least during record because it will be a momement in future when code will crash and not all students will be able easily handle it. Good to explain what it might happen, why and what students could do to manage such issues. That will make course more friendly and easier to follow. My overall impression is good and materials are useful for number of BI visualizations.

I just finished the course and it was okay. I definitely learned something and have no real complaints. I can say that there is nothing in this course that you cannot get through the various free tutorials online. It does, however, have value, in that the info is contained in one place - a Udemy course for easy access and reference. If that's worth money to you, then by all means purchase this course and you cannot go wrong. If you don't have the money, there is nothing in this course that a free tutorial found via google doesn't cover. Personally, I would have saved the money, had I have known. One thing that I was worried about when purchasing the course is that some of the information would have been outdated. It's not outdated as of July, 2022. Only the choropleth method in section 5 has been deprecated, although you can use the Choropleth class with the same arguments as suggested in the warning thrown by Jupyter. I hope this review helps in your decision to purchase this course.

Great course, exactly what I needed, enough to get up and running with Folium. One suggestion would be to clean the data and organize before the video - while that's an important, it took time away learning directly about Folium.

The content is good and the structure is easy to follow. I know a bit about folium but this helped reinforce and teach me a few new things ? However, keep on spreading the knowledge ?

I wanted to do a graphical analysis, based on some Property Values in South-Africa, and this course helped me in various topics, where some you-tube tutorials failed to do so... I found it a practical, short-and sweet and a to-the-point course! Congrats to the tutor of Cape Town!
