I need more google analytics knowledge!

It has come to my attention that i need more google analytics knowledge!

I need to be able to do things like find out visitor flow from specific countries, where they land and where they go after that(and other things) and i can`t work it out by merely pressing buttons.(he says suddenly thinking `why don`t i just create a profile or segment for the individual countries`......)

Where is the best place to learn this sort of stuff? ?

Where is the best place to learn this sort of stuff? ;
Dave Elliott: yeah... segments. That was the way forward!

Jim Munro: Apparently, +Alistair Lattimore ;has Analytics data streamed at subliminal levels to his pillow 24/7 just in case he takes a nap in the afternoon. :)

Seriously, I think a useful place to ask the obscure questions about this stuff might be the greenroom of our HOA.
Alistair Lattimore: A couple places come to mind quickly Dave, checkout +Avinash Kaushik ;and +Justin Cutroni ;blogs - both work for Google and are evangelists. Next the obvious place is Google, people post list type posts all the time about must have/can't live without type segments. If that still doesn't do it for you, you're more than welcome to join the hangout as Jim suggested and pick someones brain on the matter.
Brandon Campbell: As someone who's been studying for the GAIQ test for the last couple of days, I strongly suggest: ;https://analyticsacademy.withgoogle.com/explorer ;
PaperStreet Web Design: It can be really hard to keep up with Google Analytics - it changes quite a bit. Right after an update you will see classes / webinars popping up which offer info about the revised platform. Keep an eye out. ;
