Hi there ,
I am looking to see if the Treehouse community knows of any resources (or courses in the pipeline) for web developers to use the more advanced features of Google Analytics?
Some examples :
Recording user goals Recording users clicking on links or buttons Proper use of the Tag Manager How to rank for something locally and worldwide Tips on writing good web content
As web developers you often get a chance to work on peoples websites but it would also be a good earner to be able to provide full Analytics services on top of this
Thanks

Use regular js at first, then migrate your implementation to GTM. After all that trial and error, then read some tutorials and it should start becoming fairly clear.
