TOP REVIEWS FROM GETTING STARTED WITH SAS PROGRAMMING
This course offers a solid foundation to anyone who is interested in beginning to use SAS. I have found the demos, activites and practices to be fairly easy yet still required me to use my brain.
It is a very well structured and highly informative course. A must go for beginners. A person with no background in any programming language can also learn a lot from this.
Great course and awesome instructor. Learned a lot about some SAS capabilities, syntaxes, and others. Highly recommend this course if you would like to start getting to know SAS programming.
This course provides a foundational curriculum for anyone just starting with SAS. There are hands-on activities after every video which helps solidify the concepts really well. Loved it!
