Newbie: Getting Started

EVuong — Sun, 05 Feb 2017 06:59:47 GMT

Hi:

I'm completely new to SAS. I downloaded SAS University Edition today and tried out some tutorial. I would like to know: 1. Is SAS University Edition enough to learn from? or 2. Should I purchase a SAS software package to install onto my laptop?

Thanks,

UE is enough to learn from. Individual SAS licenses run into the 10k+ range so unless you've got cash to burn...

The first e-course is free and there's a book specifically for SAS UE.

Thank you, Reeza. That was really helpful, especially the "cash to burn" part. Shows you how much I know about SAS. Again, thanks.

And it is an annual license. Though with license comes upgrades and pretty good tech support.
