Earthquake Data: Running Homework-03 on your Machine & Visualizations #1

For the assignment, I understand we all need to individually save our data to run it during the production stages of our homework assignment. Will you be running our code on your own set of cached data as well as ours? or only our cached data?

Regarding Homework-02 due last week, what types of visualizations are you looking for with this assignment? Did you have a preference on how we visualize the data, or do we have free reign as before? If you have a particular example that you think stands out from last week, can you please point us in the right direction so that I can begin thinking about our final project and practice before then.

I added some text to the visualizer entry to clarify what you should do. Take a look at my original repo and let me know if you have any other questions.

As far as visualizations... the first step in this visualization is really about parameterizing the function so that you can display any location across the world (not just Alaska). The second part (and probably easier) is to render each earthquake visually in some way to represent the magnitude and depth of the quake.

For this assignment we won't be doing formal presentations. Instead we'll be focusing on code reviews... which is a form of presentation, but not the powerpoint slide variety.

After completing the main part of the assignment you're certainly welcome to get creative with the visualization part if you'd like, though.

btw: The homework last week (the questionnaire analysis) was technically homework-01. This one is homework-02.

As for the cached data... I should be able to run the program on any set of valid data, whether your cached version or mine.
