Editorial Reviews

"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. Overall a very valuable introduction to basic SAS programming for the beginning data analyst."
Glenn Gamst, University of La Verne

"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."
