A classic that just keeps getting better, The Little SAS Book is essential for anyone learning SAS programming. Lora Delwiche and Susan Slaughter offer a user-friendly approach so that readers can quickly and easily learn the most commonly used features of the SAS language. Each topic is presented in a self-contained, two-page layout complete with examples and graphics. Nearly every section has been revised to ensure that the sixth edition is fully up-to-date. This edition is also interface-independent, written for all SAS programmers whether they use SAS Studio, SAS Enterprise Guide, or the SAS windowing environment. New sections have been added covering PROC SQL, iterative DO loops, DO WHILE and DO UNTIL statements, %DO statements, using variable names with special characters, the ODS EXCEL destination, and the XLSX LIBNAME engine. This title belongs on every SAS programmer's bookshelf. It's a resource not just to get you started, but one you will return to as you continue to improve your programming skills. Review: Worth the time and money - A good book to learn the basics of SAS Review: Incredibly helpful & Easy to Read - My daughter purchased this book for an Intro to SAS Coding class for her PhD coursework.

Love this textbook- but this would be difficult to use if you have zero coding experience
I’ve worked with R and Access before learning SAS, so this has been a mighty helpful textbook for me. However, I’m not sure that it would be useful (at first) for beginners. My advice- learn the foundations of statistical analysis and coding first and then buy this book!

Good SAS basics book
Used this as a supplement to my intro SAS class. Very helpful and easy to follow for those new to coding languages.

Even better than the last edition
The book cannot cover every detail of SAS but it covers the basically exceptionally well. Much more useful than SAS documentation alone. For the deep details, you can always go online to StackOverflow or SAS User Groups but this book will point you in the right direction.

Does not work for me.
As a novice to SAS, this book was not very helpful . Even after working with SAS for six years now, when I turn to this book as a resource, it typically disappoints. I am on Amazon right now looking for another SAS resource.
