Dave Manton: Reading Between the Log Lines — Building Your Own Web Analytics

A talk on building your own web analytics from server logs, rather than handing visitor data to a third-party tracker. Dave Manton walks through the technical problems of an in-house analytics system: handling high volumes of log data, processing user interactions at scale, and turning raw lines into numbers people can use. Hosted by the Birmingham .NET & MAUI user group, which meets monthly at Bluetel Solutions, 4 Temple Row, next to Snow Hill station, from 18:30. Free; RSVP on Meetup. Why go: a practical, build-it-yourself talk in a small user-group room where questions are easy to ask. Best for .NET and back-end developers, and anyone weighing privacy-friendly alternatives to off-the-shelf analytics.
