S/he's Gotta Have It!,
By J. D. Frost (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Professional SAS Programming Shortcuts: Over 1,000 Ways to Improve Your SAS Programs (Paperback)
This is the only other SAS book you should have on your desk whether your SAS experience is measured in days or decades (the other is Mr. Aster's SAS Programmer's Pocket Reference).
My only beef: with all the new options and procs in SAS 9.1 and 9.2, these two books are going out of date. Of course, all the information is still useful, but in some cases you might find an easier way using the newest SAS features. I'm hoping for an update edition, but until then, I will refer to the current edition.

Very solid,
This review is from: Professional SAS Programming Shortcuts: Over 1,000 Ways to Improve Your SAS Programs (Paperback)
I agree with the previous reviewer, especially on the point that the book could benefit SAS beginners, not just the more seasoned programmers: it is clearly organized, and makes it easy to look up the topic of interest.

I find this book very interesting, however not for somebody, who does not have any basis in SAS. Thanks for this book you will optimize your codes.
