  • Interactive Mapping with Python: Building a Transit Visualization using Folium

    Folium makes it easy to create beautiful interactive web maps in Python by combining the power of Python’s data handling with the Leaflet.js mapping library. While there are many ways to showcase Folium’s capabilities, building a transit system visualization provides a perfect practical example – combining real world data and various layer types. In this…

  • Getting Started with Jupyter Notebooks in VS Code

    Introduction Jupyter notebooks are powerful interactive computing environments that have revolutionized how we work with data and code. Originally developed for Python (from IPython notebooks), they’ve evolved into a language-agnostic platform that combines live code execution, rich text documentation, visualizations, and computational outputs all in one document. Think of them as a digital laboratory notebook…
