The Simplest Guide™ to SAS Programming | Base SAS | Advanced SAS

This course is for absolute beginners as well as advanced users who wish to learn SAS programming. Delivered in a highly visual style, these immersive lectures will equip you with cutting-edge tools used in many industries, primarily in pharma, finance, and insurance areas.

Simplified into just four main areas, this course is an accelerated path to learning SAS programming. Data preparation will teach you how to import data from multiple sources, create new variables, write SAS functions, and understand what goes on behind the scenes in SAS datasets. Data structuring will make you leap into transforming data to a new level by merging and joining multiple datasets together, or turning them upside-down (sorting) and sideways (transposing). Data visualization will propel you further into the world of analytics and obtain insightful inferences from what is inside your data.

The final section will take you into the world of macro programming that teaches you how to write your code professionally and elegantly.

At the end of the course, you will try out most concepts discussed in this course through a coding exercise that will take you through these sections in preparation for your own SAS certification.

key features
A guide to the two SAS certification exams: SAS Base and SAS Advanced * This course uses the SAS OnDemand for Academics Edition that is free to be used on a PC or Mac * Quiz and practice tests after each section are included
approach
This course operates under the conviction that the quickest way to learn, remember, and, more importantly, understand anything new is to not read it from a set of slides with a background narration but to visually see what is being taught in the form of real-world objects, associate them to the topic being discussed, and then allow our brains to form those hard-to-forget connections in our minds.
audience
This course is designed for individuals looking to quickly acquire data manipulation and data analytics skills in order to get placed in job roles that involve a lot of data processing, or as part of data science university coursework, or to pass the Base SAS or Advanced SAS certification. No prior experience is required. This course uses SAS OnDemand for Academics Edition as the software tool to work with data.
