Sharing Knowledge in Small Bites - Daniel P. Huffman

Sharing Knowledge in Small Bites
Daniel P. Huffman, somethingaboutmaps
Our community has a rich tradition of sharing practical mapping advice, from workshops to video tutorials to presentations at Practical Cartography Day. But not everything we offer need be as thorough as a lengthy coding exercise or a deep dive into complex terrain representation techniques. I’ll talk about my experiences with a couple of efforts to foster the informal sharing of small, simple cartographic tricks, and what they have taught me about the value of offering knowledge not only in banquet portions, but in snack sizes, too.
This presentation was made at the 2017 annual meeting of the North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) in Montréal. For more information on NACIS, check out NACIS.org.
