This review is from: Getting Started With the SAS System: Version 8 (Getting Started Series (Cary, N.C.).) (Paperback)

This book proved invaluable when I needed to familiarize myself with SAS after being away from it for many years. It is also a good choice for first-time SAS users who would like to start writing programs to analyse statistical data as soon as possible. Features added to the most recent Windows-based version of SAS make it much easier to debug and use, and the book explains them well.
