We start a short series on event tracking with this entry. This video defines event tracking, shows you the standard format of the tag, and the limits on event tracking. Tracking events is another customizable feature that if implemented well can create powerful insights.
The Google Analytics series thus far has covered the basics on reports from understanding the difference between Dimensions and Metrics, through selecting a date range, a chart option, or a secondary dimension. We then covered in detail how to setup an account, create profiles, add the Async code, and lately we explored eCommerce. See the full list below and at the bottom of every educational post.

Introducing our newest team member, Bill Covington. A true computer veteran of almost 20 years, Bill started working in technology while in the military. Today he manages a corporate help desk and provides professional consulting to a wide range of clients.
Bill is a natural-born trainer. We think he was probably destined to be a teacher and we’re lucky that he put those skills to work in the technology field. He’s one of those “glass is half full” kind of guys and approaches his instruction so that it is a positive / effective experience. This used to be done in a classroom environment, but is not longer restricted to that medium. Bill now creates training videos (narrated & highlighted / interactive) and these are incorporated into CMS training sites as well as posted on the internet.

This is a great series. I however, have trouble learning from videos. Is there a place I can download the slides and comments?
Yes, every video has a slideshow below it that you can download from Google Apps.
