DevGroup NW - Thurs., March 19, 6:30 to 8:00pm
Tracking activity on web sites used to be all about the pageviews and visit paths. Now dynamic content means most interaction is taking place between page loads. Getting web analytics tracking involved in this interaction is still often overlooked, avoided, or feared. This session examines good and bad ways to integrate web analytics tracking beginning in the design phase, and how doing so can benefit designers and developers as much as it benefits marketers. Learn how visitors are interacting with your work, and use the knowledge to drive your own personal design and development decisions.

Small Groups, Tightly Joined
DevGroup NW - Wed., Feb. 18, 6:30 to 8:00pm
Homophily describes the tendency of individuals to bond with people similar to themselves. It’s an obvious insight. But it also means everything to the analysis of any given online community. A web community’s success can be predicted almost entirely by asking: “Do the people drawn to this website share cultural traits with one another?”
This is why Microsoft can’t launch a successful social network. While your average college radio station, or sports fan club, or local music scene are natural gathering places.
With web communities, technology isn’t important - it’s a culture thing.

Dreamweaver CS3 and Photoshop CS3.

of standards-based, CSS layouts, easily manage CSS stylesheets, and
