Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance data management capabilities using Mapbox CLI for tileset operations and improve data manipulation techniques with Pandas.

Key Activities

  • Utilized Mapbox CLI commands to manage tilesets related to income and poverty data, including uploading and publishing new tilesets.
  • Demonstrated merging of Pandas DataFrames using multi-index and column-based techniques to resolve index mismatch issues.
  • Explored executing shell commands within Jupyter Notebooks to streamline tileset management.
  • Installed Mapbox CLI and addressed npm registry issues using alternative methods such as Yarn.
  • Set up environment variables for Mapbox access token in Python to ensure seamless tileset operations.
  • Developed a Mapbox map comparison feature using HTML and JavaScript, including a dropdown menu for style selection.

Achievements

  • Successfully managed Mapbox tilesets and resolved installation issues.
  • Improved data manipulation skills with Pandas, particularly in handling multi-index DataFrames.
  • Enhanced web development skills by implementing a Mapbox map comparison feature.

Pending Tasks

  • Further explore advanced Mapbox CLI features for more efficient data management.
  • Investigate additional data manipulation techniques in Pandas to handle complex datasets more effectively.
