Customer Reviews:

excellent reference for beginners and those needing a refresher [Posted on 2008-02-15]
This book is concise and has many of the key ideas that beginning SAS programmers need. It is a good reference even for advanced SAS programmers but does not go far beyond the basics. If you use SAS regularly this will not have enough information for you. However, it is the quickest way to find out how to do something basic that you either have never done or forgot how to do. I only have the 2nd edition, so I can't comment on any changes that may be incorporated in the third edition.

Very easy book to work with SAS [Posted on 2008-03-03]
The book is very complete and easy to work with SAS, it isn't for starters, you can use it a lot. It is very helpfull.

Enough to get you started, but not much else [Posted on 2008-03-24]
During my first week on the job as an actuarial analyst, I got handed a copy of this book and told to teach myself SAS from it. I read every page of it and worked through every example, and by the end of the week I understood the basics of using SAS, but not much else. This is an excellent book for someone who has never seen SAS before in their life; it assumes no prior knowledge and teaches everything from scratch. However, your average SAS user isn't going to be using this program to simply calculate means and variances, and this is where this book fails. The most complex statistics this book covers are simple things, like means and variances, and it is necessary to purchase further manuals if you are interested in learning more advanced techniques. By all means, buy this book, but be aware that it is likely that you will need to buy other books to accompany it.

Very good material for a new SAS learner. Easy to read and to understand. I recommend this book for every SAS beginner.

This was a great book to read. I was very confused in lecture because I am not programming savy. This book really helped me a lot. Everything is explained in simple terms and makes so much sense.
