    I wanted to point out that by default, all StudioWeb accounts are anonymous. You can optionally add your email address, for password recovery, or your name, but it is not required to use StudioWeb. And if you do add your name or email address, you can just as easily remove them.
    We track your performance for your benefit ... people find it useful to know how well they are doing as they go. Beyond that, internal tracking is for security and performance purposes only, and does not reveal any personal information about our students. Again, if you don't add your name and email address, the user accounts are anonymous. Thanks!

    Thanks for another great video Stefan.
    Can you make a video about maintenance of a website?
    How can I communicate to my client that they need to cover for maintenance fee ?

    Another great video Stef. Could you talk about how you did sales and the business development side of things for Studio Web? Would love to hear about this especially early days.

    While logging is important, keep in mind that you've got to be careful what information you are logging or storing, otherwise you might get into trouble with the law. Keep data anonymous, clear logs periodically and ask yourself if you really need this data before you go ahead and store it.

      Student records are wiped from the database as a matter of policy. And students can use StudioWeb anonymously .... this is the default in fact.

      @@StefanMischook Great that it is so. Anonymous by design is perhaps the best way to go for an application, please note that my comment wasn't aimed at you or studio web but at the beginners watching this video as a tip :)

    We use ELK stack (elastic search, logstash, kibana) for logging in my workplace. For big organisations it seems to work very well.

    I am looking into this same level of logging but torn on one thing.Are you using text based logs, or database logs, where you are writing all events to a table?

    • @nadir2k
      @nadir2k 5 років тому +1

      I think the best approach is to use database logs, as well as saving events to the table.

    I think these advantages are not even hidden. They are the main reason for logging user activity in a system.
    But let's talk about the important things.
    I would pay money for an album with this kind of music, even just a single.
    The fish eye video was just the icing on the cake. It reminded me of a Beastie Boys , a Busta Rhymes and a Missy Elliott music video. Now I need to find them.

    Depending on WHAT, HOW and PROCESS/USE the logs of user/visitor information, it can breach/violate the GDPR law in europe. So if your users/visitors are from Europe, it should conform to this law.

      Users can remain anonymous if they choose to. Once a classroom is completed, the data is wiped from the database.
