Editorial Reviews
Review
‘The authors have created a very readable and gentle introduction to SAS programming and its working environment – Enterprise Guide. The text provides a valuable overview of ‘navigating’ in a SAS windowing environment and before moving quickly into core procedures. … a very valuable introduction to basic SAS programming for the beginning data analyst.’ Glenn Gamst, University of la Verne, California
‘The authors of Data Management Essentials Using SAS and JMP have written a thoroughly user-friendly beginning guide to SAS programming for data exploration and management, and for designing well-constructed and informative reports. I honestly know of no better book to use for self-instruction on, or for teaching essential SAS programming skills for report design than this very well written and produced book.’ Joseph M. Hilbe, Arizona State University
