Review
I wish that Ron Cody’s new book, Learning SAS® by Example: A Programmer’s Guide, had been around when I was first learning SAS! This impressive book steadily moves the reader from SAS novice to SAS authority in 26 well-written, well-paced chapters. All of the basics are covered in this book; the fundamentals of the DATA step, getting data into and out of SAS, conditional and iterative processing, SAS functions and formats, important SAS procedures, creating frequency and tabular reports, and generating output in publishable formats such as RTF and PDF. This book is well suited for people who are just learning SAS, as well as for people who would like a broad-based SAS reference. There are plenty of solid examples that emphasize the material in the chapters. Each chapter ends with exercises that test the reader’s understanding of the concepts and the SAS code presented. Because of its pacing, breadth, and scope, I have no doubt that Learning SAS® by Example: A Programmer’s Guide will become the preferred book for learning SAS software in business, government, and educational institutions the world over.

Review
While building SAS/IntrNet applications, I would like nothing better than to have someone with the skills of Don Henderson looking over my shoulder. Other than some SAS-L posts and a few personal e-mail messages, this desire went unrealized. That was until I read Don s book, Building Web Applications with SAS/IntrNet: A Guide to the Application Dispatcher. Read the rest of this entry »
