@adamplayford
i work for Newsday.
(That's on Long Island)
once I was a nerdy kid,
like you
now I'm a reporter
(Who writes computer programs)
(and works with data)
(so basically still a nerd)
telling stories
with technology
let's talk about
what that means
MAKING stories OUT OF
structured data
A story has order
(a beginning, middle and end)
We're writing news,
so context is important
maps are cool
(if they show something)
fun is important
(making tasty VEGETABLES)
google fusion tables
(for simple online mapping)
building blocks of the web:
html, javascript, css
frameworks
(like factories for web pages)
django [python]
ruby on rails [ruby]
google/books
School
nicar-l/python journos
all done!
questions?
