Great tips -- but I wish it had more depth.
My Dumb question #1: , how do you measure "session length" for a user. I am assuming the session referred to here is not the same as HTTP Session on the web server.
My Dumb question #2: Is there a programmers' guide to measuring these metrics ?
- swombat 16y agoMeasuring session length will depend on your app. For a typical web app, what you would do is have some sort of process that updates the current session timestamp when a new user action happens. Then, another process will go through currently active sessions and automatically close those that have been inactive for longer than a certain time period. The actual time period depends on your app, of course. I haven't spotted a programmer's guide to measuring these metrics. There are a number of people on this site who would be very qualified to write one, though (patio11 comes to mind).
- badmash69 16y agoThanks for the response. Your answer on #1 is spot-on -- I could implement that.
