Earth Engine Guide

I’m working on a guide to help economists get started using Google Earth Engine. The first draft of this guide is on this google doc, which seems fairly effective so far.

Some of the contents:
– common confusion about the client-side and server-side of Earth Engine functions
– a typical workflow for developing Earth Engine code
– notes on different ways to access Earth Engine resources (browser, python, etc)
– links to many great resources, ordered by how helpful they’ve been for me
– some example code snippets for various Earth Engine tasks economists would be using, like sampling geo-referenced raster files over a long period of time

The guide is a working document with several updates in the queue, so please feel free to leave comments or suggestions for the most important content to include! And definitely let me know if you want to help contribute.
