## Course objectives

* You will be able to confidently discuss the geojson standard
* You will be able to dive into geojson related development projects with confidence

The course is live at the [Open Risk Academy](https://www.openriskacademy.com/course/view.php?id=53), this repository hosts the python scripts used in the course. The scripts can be used standalone but documentation is minimal

## Brief Description

* Step 1: In this first step of the course we start with a high level review of GeoJSON
* Step 2: In this step we review the elements of the GeoJSON specification in some detail with examples
* Step 3: In this step we will go over the _basics_ of using geojson in python
* Step 4: In this final step we cover a number of special topics that are quite useful to be aware of
