How to make a map (part 1)

In my first entry of (what I hope to be) a series, I'm testing out CartoDB, a free cloud based mapping engine.  Not too familiar with it yet, but following is my first test map.  I plan to follow up later with a full review of the mapping platform.

This maps shows US airports, with graduated symbols for volume of operations.  It is interactive, with pan/zoom capabilities, location search, and dynamic info boxes. I'll be using this dataset in future map samples.
