Description
The first part of the course utilizes the Data step, 2nd part looks at SAS SQL, the third part looks at the Macro Programming/Programs. As an addition, I have added a section on SAS Predictive Modeling using Logistic Regression.
SAS programming is the language of choice of most enterprises/corporations. In 2018, 92% of Fortune 100 companies used SAS. It is the go-to for many industries, including banking/finance, insurance, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and automotive.
As mentioned, my SAS training course is developed to help you become a SAS Certified Specialist: Base Programming.
The lessons in this course are meant to be taken in order, as each lesson builds upon the knowledge, and may mention some important ideas/concepts. If you skip videos, it may appear that some aspects are not being explained.
As mentioned, you will learn how to code in the SAS programming language, to help you start a career/gain employment, or move up at your current company.
Please take a look at each section to see what is covered. You can view the titles of all lectures, and see a free video preview for some selected lectures.
Learning SAS programming means that you will be able to accomplish the same goal on ANY software that supports SAS language. I use WPS. You guys have your options.
We use a commercial license from WPS. The system I use, WPS, is in no way associated with the SAS System. If you see phrases like “program”, “SAS program”, “SAS language program” used in my course, this is used to refer to programs written in the SAS language.
Who this course is for:
- Individuals looking to become a SAS Certified Specialist: Base Programming
- Individuals that are considering a career, or want to gain employment, with the biggest corporations/enterprises out there!
- Those new to SAS syntax and or students looking for a refresher. No prior programming knowledge is required.
- Students who are interested in developing their SAS SQL/PROC SQL skills
- Individuals who work with large data sets and deal with performance problems
- Individuals who perform many repetitive programming tasks or deal with lengthy code
