One thing that impressed me about SAS Global Forum 2013 was the number of international attendees–28 percent! While SGF (and it’s predecessor SUGI) always claimed to be the worldwide SAS conference, only recently has this actually become true.
One longtime international attendee is the SAS author, Erik Tilanus, who hails from the Netherlands. Erik works as a consultant through his company, Synchrona, specializing in the airline and travel industries. Not only has he attended SGF, he has even served as a section chair.
This year, Erik brought a copy of the newest edition of his book Werken met SAS which he showed to me at the Opening Night Dinner. I can’t read Dutch, but, by coincidence, the person sitting on the other side of Erik could! He was from South Africa and could read the book because Afrikaans is similar to Dutch.
Here is a description of Werken met SAS:
Er is een nieuwe editie van het Nederlandse standaardwerk over SAS: Werken met SAS. Deze nieuwe editie is bijgewerkt tot en met SAS 9.3. In ongeveer 600 bladzijden wordt niet alleen de basis van het werken met SAS duidelijk gemaakt, maar worden ook diverse geavanceerde technieken besproken, zodat het boek zowel voor beginners als al enigszins gevorderde SAS gebruikers een hoop te bieden heeft. Alle technieken worden aan de hand van duidelijke voorbeelden toegelicht. In totaal staan er meer dan 100 voorbeeldprogramma’s in het boek.
For those of you who don’t read Dutch, here is a rough translation:
There is a new edition of the Dutch standard treatise on SAS: Working with SAS. This new edition has been updated to SAS 9.3. In 600 pages it makes clear not only the basics of working with SAS, but also discusses various advanced techniques, so that the book offers a little hope for both beginners and advanced SAS users. All techniques are explained using clear examples. In total there are more than 100 sample programs in the book.
Werken met SAS is a comprehensive introduction to the SAS system. You can get an idea of the topics covered by viewing the table of contents.
