      <description>&lt;P&gt;There are no fast ways as such to learning SAS, anymore than any other programming or spoken language (or in fact any other topic).&amp;nbsp; You need to learn logic and semantics, then develop that into more advanced programming paradigm, learn to model data, how documentation is more important than programming etc.&amp;nbsp; In terms of learning there is:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://video.sas.com/category/videos/how-to-tutorials" target="_blank"&gt;https://video.sas.com/category/videos/how-to-tutorials&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And the Little SAS book is quite popular:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.sas.com/storefront/aux/en/splsb/65423_excerpt.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.sas.com/storefront/aux/en/splsb/65423_excerpt.pdf&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And there is also certification.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To advance from that however requires time and patience, you never know everything and should always be learning.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This forum also has a lot of helpful information.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;My usual reference to start learning sas is the &lt;A href="https://support.sas.com/edu/viewmyelearn.html?ctry=us" target="_self"&gt;Programming 1 e-Learning Course&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
