    I will for sure be picking up Web Analytics 2.0!

    I checked out the Web Analytics Wednesday site, but it doesn’t look like there are any meetups in my home city of Vancouver, Canada. Maybe I can change that sometime soon...!

    Hi Jessica,

    I’m glad it could be of use. Avinash just came up with a new book, Web Analytics 2.0, which you might also want to pick up.

    If you can make it to a Web Analytics Wednesday, that’s good for networking.

    Cheers,
    -Alex

    Thank-you so much for posting this Alex! I’m just starting out in Web Analytics & your information is invaluable! I’ve done just two of your suggestions so far, which are to read Web Analytics - An Hour a Day and sign up for UBC’s Web Analytics program. I was searching around online for career advice and luckily found your slides. I look forward to following your blog and reading any books you may have!
