    SAS programming is a creative and iterative process designed to empower you to make the most of your organization's data. This friendly guide provides you with a repertoire of essential SAS tools for data management, whether you are a new or an infrequent user. Most useful to students and programmers with little or no SAS experience, it takes a no-frills, hands-on tutorial approach to getting started with the software.

    Reviews & endorsements

    "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."
    Joseph M. Hilbe, Arizona State University
