About the book

What The Technical Marketer covers

The Technical Marketer starts from zero: recognising technical marketing work, following a customer from a web page to a business record, files and folders, and reading a table to check a marketing calculation. It then teaches Python for marketing records and reports, SQL for asking a database questions without counting twice, how websites work, and eighteen JavaScript lessons that end in working browser tools. Nine program-construction lessons connect the pieces before the book turns to digital marketing and SEO, measurement and automation, working with AI systems and delivering professional work. Most parts end with a deliverable a marketing team would recognise, such as a checked campaign report or an automation that survives repeat runs.

Included with the PDF: a companion ZIP of 1,328 files (12.6 MB), the working files for the book's exercises and projects.

Best for: Marketers starting from zero who want technical skills they can use at work, from reports and databases to websites, tracking and automation.

  • 874 pages in 10 parts: 52 chapters, 18 JavaScript lessons and 9 program-construction lessons
  • Python, SQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Node.js, applied to marketing records, reports and web pages
  • Digital marketing and SEO, measurement, automation and working with AI systems
  • Appendices with answers and independent solutions, an illustrated debugging guide and a guide to the visual explanations
How it teaches

A repeatable study rhythm

The book asks you to practise in four ways: follow a worked example, change one part with guidance, solve a related problem yourself, then deliver a piece of work from a business request. The examples use a fictional company that supplies desks and office equipment, with invented records, so you can make mistakes, change the figures and try again. Answers and independent solutions are in an appendix, alongside an illustrated debugging guide.

  1. A business situation

    Each chapter starts from a realistic request at a fictional company.

  2. Worked example

    The solution built step by step, with what you should see.

  3. Guided change

    Alter one part and predict the result before you run it.

  4. Independent problem

    A related task you solve on your own.

  5. Deliverable

    A piece of work produced from a business request and checked against the brief.

  6. Answers and debugging

    Independent solutions and an illustrated debugging guide in the appendices.

Before you start

What you need and how long it takes

Assumed background

Ordinary computer use is enough. The early chapters need only a pencil, paper and a computer, and the book explains where to type, how to save your work and what you should see before it asks you to write code. Use a laptop or desktop computer for the exercises.

A realistic pace

There is no deadline. Some chapters take one evening; others take several sessions and a return visit. Progress means being able to do and explain something you could not do before, and the final projects give you a way to judge it.
