SAS Global Forum 2018

I’m excited because in a couple days I will fly to Denver for SAS Global Forum 2018, the biggest SAS conference of the year, attended by thousands.

If you are coming, I hope you will attend the presentation that Lora Delwiche and I have.  It is “SAS Studio: A New Way to Program in SAS” on Wednesday April 11, 10:00-11:30am in Meeting Room506.

It’s a Hands On Workshop so it’s best if you can be there in person.  If you can’t, you can still read the paper.

In fact, you can access the proceedings for the entire conference.

Update 04/15/2018

SAS Global Forum 2018 is now over, but if you missed the live webcast, you still can see the Opening Session here. (The presentation starts about 12 minutes in.)

 

There is also a library of interesting videos available on demand.

 

A Little Advice: How to Be a Top SAS Programmer

Recently I was honored to be interviewed by Mamadou Dakouo for his company DataSteps.

 

I was asked three questions:

• How did I learn SAS?
• What advice do I have for someone who wants to become a “top SAS programmer?”
• What is my favorite SAS procedure?

My answers were

• In graduate school
• Be a self-starter
• PROC FORMAT (runner-up: PROC SGPLOT)

For the details you can watch the 6 minute video.
