SAS Bowl XXVIII, SAS Studio Custom Steps -- Game Recap

[joeFurbee]

We 'stepped out' in the latest rendition of the SAS Bowl where we learned about custom steps in SAS Studio. We covered how easy it is to create, implement and share custom steps. We even have a sassoftware GitHub repository with dozens of examples! Read on for the game replay and some highlights.

If you want to view (or re-view) the game, catch the action in the video below.

Game Highlights

• You should only watch the movie "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" if you have strong drinks and/or catnip available.
• Kangaroos can't walk backwards
• We confirmed Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, which means it is neither a state nor an independent country. Certainly a gray area.
• According to @DavidHD, the Send Teams Message step is the best custom step on sassoftware GitHub; #notBiased he states.

Congratulations to the winners
