Introduction to SAS

This workshop will introduce students to the SAS system. Participants will gain an understanding of the SAS environment as well as the functionality it provides, which includes data management and analysis. Students will learn the basics of the SAS programming language through examples, loading data sets and using built-in procedures.

This workshop will be LECTURE and SLIDE ONLY. There will be no hands-on component for this introduction session.

(Note: For later workshops, we plan to use SAS Studio, accessing the SAS application through a web browser.)

Instructions for installing SAS Studio under VirtualBox can be found here: https://github.com/dlab-berkeley/sas-intro/blob/master/INSTALLATION.md.  VirtualBox downloads and installations instructions can be found at https://www.virtualbox.org/
