Negative Positive
Title: SAS Primer book
Review: This book offers instruction through definitions and examples. I constantly return to it (since im still learning how to use the program). The way that the chapters and index are listed makes this book feel like an excellent reference guide. In that sense it is highly functional above and beyond its first read through. I never seem to get things on the first try and this book , through the content orginization, allows me to find and return to the exact section I need to re-read. The price is worth it in terms of both the content presentation and the chapter organization. My favorite part of the book is the example section. You can actually see the code needed to carry out the commands as well as the results that the commands would give. Coming from SPSS (menu driven format) I was very fearful of having to learn a computer language. This book took that aprehension away in no time. I would suggest that anyone starting out with this program buy this book.
