Fundamentals of Analyzing Logs for User Research

Instructor: Randy Au (LinkedIn)
April 28-30, 2025, at Old Slip Plaza, NYC (Wall Street area)

This 3 half-day class provides the foundation to analyze product telemetry logs and derive insight. This hands-on course starts by assuming there is no technical infrastructure in place to analyze logs, and demonstrates simple tools and theory to get results. It then works towards using modern tools that achieve similar outcomes at greater scale. The class divides its focus between the analytical frameworks needed to do meaningful analysis, and the technical skills needed to implement those frameworks and get results. 

Participants should have day-to-day, basic fluency in a computational programming language of their choice, such as Python or R. The class will also use basic OS command line tools such as grep and wc, as well as SQL with DuckDB. In class, you will use your preferred language to manipulate and wrangle data files to analyze them. Although you may use any language, the instructor will demonstrate and share Python and SQL code.

This Monday-Wednesday afternoon class may be combined in the same week with the 4-day Choice Modeling Master Class, which occurs on Monday-Thursday mornings. Register for each class separately.
