Do you love maps? Oh, let's be honest, who doesn't? In this workshop you'll learn how to create your own maps using the open source tool, TileMill. We'll cover the basics of using TileMill and then delve into the particulars of using CartoCSS to style your maps.

Prerequisite: The computers in the GIS lab already have TileMill installed. If you are bringing your own, make sure you have TileMill (>=0.10.0) installed.
