About this listen

In this episode of Andrew Talks, I sit down with Alban Gérôme, a long time digital analytics practitioner, former full stack developer and the creator of JavaScript Senpai. We walk through his unusual journey from linguistics to coding, his early days automating call centre reporting, and how he found himself at the heart of digital analytics before the industry even had a name.

We dig into the origins of JavaScript Senpai, why he started teaching during the pandemic, and how the course has evolved into a polished nearly monthly program designed to help analysts finally feel confident with JavaScript. Alban shares stories about browser quirks, DevTools tricks, SPA tracking, IndexedDB, and the challenges created by modern privacy restrictions.

We also talk about teaching, learning, community, the future of the course, and why he keeps the price intentionally low. And, introducing for the first time on Andrew Talks, we wrap up with a lightning round covering his favourite tools, features and lessons learned along the way.

If you’ve ever wanted to understand the technical side of analytics a little better, this is a great one to watch or Listen! Do you want to register for JavaScript Senpai; you can do that here: https://albangerome.systeme.io/subscribe
