The best way to learn SAS programming is by doing it. Programming skills can only be developed through practice. With this in mind, I am writing a statistics book for an intermediate applied statistics class. The book contains SAS labs. The students follow directions to learn various SAS commands and practice statistical inference procedures, while working at their own pace. There are two types of labs. The first type of lab deals with basic SAS programming. Here the emphasis is on options and commands for the data step, and using SAS procedures. The second type of lab deals with using SAS to obtain output for statistical inference. In this part of the book, I introduce the inference procedure in class and do an example. The students then do the lab to get practice, while learning the SAS coding. I will be showing some examples of the content and ideas behind this book.
