Overpass API developpement

["Arian Allenson M. Valdez" <>]

Hello Everyone! I’m Arian, a Computer Science student. I’m one of the students accepted in the Google Summer of Code program, and my project is the creation of a Learning platform for Overpass API!

If you are unfamiliar with the project, you can view the wiki page here:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2015/Learning_platform_for_Overpass

and the repo here:

 https://github.com/osmlab/learnoverpass

Anyway, if you’ve been following the project along, you’ll note that we’re in the homestretch and are now in the process of making the actual exercise content. I’ll be releasing major draft revisions though the mailing list here, so feel free to comment about anything you see in the exercises :)

Here is the google doc to current first draft:

The exercise will contain a subdued story of helping our hero “Bob” get home from… a tree. It’s a quirky, storyline, which would carry the concepts that we are trying to introduce with the exercises.

Let me know if you see rooms for possible improvements!

Thanks!
