I saw this video on Kepler & React and was excited about the Kepler app. I want to try it with NZ covid data that I’m getting from some API endpoints. But its not structured in a GeoJson format. This is a tool that Uber have developed and shared, which is nice of them. I’m

There is a great series of videos on how to set up this project by the Net Ninja  (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4cUxeGkcC9iWstfXntcj8f-dFZ4UtlN3) The first video is: There is also a github repository with all the code here, you have to look at the branches to get the individual video lessons.  So from your VS Code terminal >git pull

I went to a python meetup where one of the presentors was running a Python app using a google cloud function (GCF). I had to have it explained to me what these were, the thicko in the room. It ends up as an online environment that will run your code. It is dormant until you

I’ve been trying to learn server side programming using node js. I’m running node js on localHost and now want to deploy some code that will run so that it can be accessed outside of my PC. I’ve been following the Code Train videos and the one below shows how to do some web application

This is in fact an article How to import JSON data into Google Sheets to create a live COVID-19 chart that I came across on my RSS feed from Datawrapper. I want to follow this as it sort of comes full circle. I’d started my covid data exploration with Google Sheets and importXML() and now,

I m very excited as I’ve found out about JS Template literals, I think I’ve used some in code but was not aware of it. The video below is a very good tutorial: There is also a link to Codepen of 1/ the basics, so you can follow along, and the complete solution HERE. The

After pulling the data from an API ans displaying it in a web page Chart, and developing a crude selection list for different countries and dates, I started to think about creating my own API as a project. As I looked around for data I came across Dixon Cheng’s Github repository of Covid-19 data scraped

There is a AU talk on this at the link below: Revit Journal Files: They Aren’t Just for Autodesk Support There are alsdo a couple of downloadable files that go with the video just for reference. This seems like agood way to

After looking at all the tutorial videos and doing the basic exploring features of setting up a Ribbon tab from tutorial code it is time to try and do something. I crashed and burned trying to adapt some code for selection and colouring and realised I was over reaching a bit. So I need to

After AutoCad, that had LISP, where you could write some simple code and get some useful tailored tools that helped your efficiency, I find Revit tailoring a lot more difficult. It is more sophisticated and so programatically there are more challenges, so the code needs to be a bit more complex, but some simple Keyboard
