This is my default career advice for people starting out in geo/GIS, especially remote sensing, adapted from a response to a letter in 2013.

I'm currently about to start a Geography degree at the University of [Redacted] at [Redacted] with a focus in GIS, and I've been finding that I have an interest in working with imagery. Obviously I should take Remote Sensing and other similar classes, but I'm the type of person who likes to self learn as well. So my question is this: What recommendations would you give to a student who is interested in working with imagery? Are there any self study paths that you could recommend?

I learned on my own and on the job, and there are a lot of important topics in GIS that I don’t know anything about, so I can’t give comprehensive advice. I haven’t arrived anywhere; I’m just ten minutes ahead in the convoy we’re both in. Take these recommendations critically.

Find interesting people. You’ll learn a lot more from a great professor (or mentor, or friend, or conference) o

hexer is cool. It's a new project by Howard Butler that makes hexagon binned files out of point files.

Building hexer

This worked on my system (OSX 10.9, git via homebrew)

Static tiled raster version of Mike Bostock’s satellite projection example

Minimal Mercator tiles from a [MapBox terrain example](http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/examples.map-4l7djmvo/page.html) are [automatic computed](http://www.jasondavies.com/maps/tile/) and reprojected on-the-fly.

Unfortunately, distortion is too great to support zooming at the moment.

This is a more wordy, narrative accompaniment to my pretty bare presentation about d3 that I gave to the jQuery DC Meetup.

What is d3?

Not a chart library (though you can make charts with it)
Not a map library (though you can make maps with it)

Which is to say, d3 can be used for building things, but the 'atomic parts' are lower-level than bar graphs or projections or so on. This is a powerful fact. It also means that d3 is a good basis for simple interfaces, like Vega.js, that make its power accessible in other ways.

Not a compatibility layer (it doesn't work with bad browsers)
