In this session we will showcase some of the fundamental use cases for CartoDB; showcasing the User Interface, the SQL API and the maps API. We will do so by providing a live demo.
We will start by showing how to import data, visualize the data on a map, customize the way it looks using Carto CSS-like language, filter it using PostGIS SQL and share it on the web.
CartoDB can be use to perfrom on-the-fly analysis. For example, finding the intersection between the official NY Police Department data and the data available on Stop Frisk and Ask. We will perform a live analysis, looking at where the most people are stopped by police in NYC. Next, the outputs of the analysis will be used to generate a choropleth map of New York.
In the last part we will show how to use the SQL API to build a mobile web application to find your closest New York City parks.
