Subject: Seeking Guidance to Become Proficient in SAS Viya Programming

Dear SAS Community,

I'm reaching out for assistance and guidance as I embark on the journey to become proficient in SAS Viya programming. Although I hold a certification as a SAS Base Specialist, I have recently been tasked with learning SAS Viya and SAS Visual Forecasting. I've been diligently studying for the past two weeks, but I've hit a roadblock when it comes to CASL programming. Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate any comprehensive books on the subject.

What I'm Seeking:

I'm kindly requesting your assistance in charting a clear path forward. Specifically, I would greatly appreciate a sequential list of topics to study, ensuring I don't get lost in the details. If possible, please share valuable resources, as I have only been able to find scattered guides thus far.

Furthermore, I welcome any suggestions and tips on how to become a proficient SAS Viya programmer. Your insights and guidance would be immensely valuable to me.

Thank you in advance for your support and expertise.

Best regards.

I would start by searching for training from SAS (both in person and online).

Looks like SAS has posted a good series of training courses to coursera:

Also:

Also if you can make it to in-person user group meetings, check out the options for trainings and workshops attached to those.
