My first SAS book
It was invaluable to me in learning SAS programming, with great examples of all the basic concepts and operations. This book is helpful for beginner users. It's concise and pretty well-written. (By the way, there's also a helpful "SAS Workbook" that goes along with this, written also by Cody. The Workbook has many exercises to help you get started with SAS). .

Good Do It Yourself Book on SAS
But remember, it is still "do-it-yourself" so beware. This is a very good do-it-yourself book on SAS coding. You can get the job done, but it may not always be the most economical or efficient way. Otherwise this is an invaluable book. Keep it handy.

Decent book
The content borders on the edge though. This book needs introductory knowledge of sas. It lacks on a couple of key points such as ODS, Macros and Proc Report which are very essential in a real-world situation. I read this book and the little sas book cover to cover. The little sas book would beat this to pulp. Definitely needs a revised edition.
