\u003cb\u003eLearn to program SAS by example!\u003c/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eLearning SAS by Example, A Programmerâs Guide, Second Edition\u003c/i\u003e, teaches SAS programming from very basic concepts to more advanced topics. Because most programmers prefer examples rather than reference-type syntax, this book uses short examples to explain each topic. The second edition has brought this classic book on SAS programming up to the latest SAS version, with new chapters that cover topics such as PROC SGPLOT and Perl regular expressions. This book belongs on the shelf (or e-book reader) of anyone who programs in SAS, from those with little programming experience who want to learn SAS to intermediate and even advanced SAS programmers who want to learn new techniques or identify new ways to accomplish existing tasks.\n\u003cp\u003e\nIn an instructive and conversational tone, author Ron Cody clearly explains each programming technique and then illustrates it with one or more real-life examples, followed by a detailed description of how the program works. The text is divided into four major sections: Getting Started, DATA Step Processing, Presenting and Summarizing Your Data, and Advanced Topics. Subjects addressed include\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReading data from external sources \n\u003cli\u003eLearning details of DATA step programming\n\u003cli\u003eSubsetting and combining SAS data sets \n\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding SAS functions and working with arrays \n\u003cli\u003eCreating reports with PROC REPORT and PROC TABULATE \n\u003cli\u003eGetting started with the SAS macro language \n\u003cli\u003eLeveraging PROC SQL\n\u003cli\u003eGenerating high-quality graphics\n\u003cli\u003eUsing advanced features of user-defined formats and informats\n\u003cli\u003eRestructuring SAS data sets\n\u003cli\u003eWorking with multiple observations per subject\n\u003cli\u003eGetting started with Perl regular expressions\n\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nYou can test your knowledge and hone your skills by solving the problems at the end of each chapter.
