Background
The Wieslander Vegetation Type Mapping website showcases vegetation maps, photographs and plot locations from a series of surveys from the 1920s and 1930s carried out by Albert Everett Wieslander and others. These data represent a snapshot of California’s vegetation in the early 20th century, and are a valuable resource for comparative and conservation ecology.
My Work
I designed and built this website using AngularJS 1.2 and Bootstrap. It was my first experience using a JavaScript framework, and I fell in love with the two-way data binding 🤩 till I wanted to plot hundreds of plot and photo locations on a map! With the breaking changes in Angular 2, I stayed away from all the cool JavaScript frameworks till I came across Svelte ❤️.
