Developing Data Products: R Markdown and Leaflet Project

Project Assignment and Review Criteria

Create a web page using R Markdown that features a map created with Leaflet.

Host your webpage on either GitHub Pages, RPubs, or NeoCities.

Review Criteria:

1. Does the web page feature a date and is this date less than two months before the date that you’re grading this assignment?

2. Does the web page feature an interactive map that appears to have been created with Leaflet?
