Worth the time and money
A good book to learn the basics of SAS

Incredibly helpful & Easy to Read
My daughter purchased this book for an Intro to SAS Coding class for her PhD coursework. The book is incredibly well written, easy to understand, and contains the most important information for learning to program with SAS. Each topic is 1-2 pages with well laid out examples and syntax descriptions. Super helpful!

Love this textbook- but this would be difficult to use if you have zero coding experience
I’ve worked with R and Access before learning SAS, so this has been a mighty helpful textbook for me. However, I’m not sure that it would be useful (at first) for beginners. My advice- learn the foundations of statistical analysis and coding first and then buy this book!

Good SAS basics book
Used this as a supplement to my intro SAS class. Very helpful and easy to follow for those new to coding languages.

Even better than the last edition
The book cannot cover every detail of SAS but it covers the basically exceptionally well. Much more useful than SAS documentation alone. For the deep details, you can always go online to StackOverflow or SAS User Groups but this book will point you in the right direction.

Does not work for me.
As a novice to SAS, this book was not very helpful . Even after working with SAS for six years now, when I turn to this book as a resource, it typically disappoints. I am on Amazon right now looking for another SAS resource.
