SAS Clinical Programming: In 18 Easy Steps Paperback – August 8, 2014

Extremely easy steps makes the first book to read and code with running examples. Best Book as a starter Book.

Hmm, interesting book, I am a few chapters in, mostly introduction to clinical trials and SAS. It looks like we are expected to type in the data sets from the page, not available for download? I my try to get a soft copy and then lift from the screen but these days I would have expected the datasets to be available for download.-Gary

This truly is best book for starters in SAS clinical. It is also best guide for Biostatistics in Clinical domain.

Being a life science graduate with no prior knowledge of programming, I felt this book is perfect for me to understand the SAS programming aspects. Both programming and the clinical research aspects are well explained in simple words.To get started, this book will be helpful.

If you are interested on knowing what types of procedures is used in clinical sas this is the book for you. But if you are looking for sdtm and adam or tlf this isn't the one. It contains only the spec.

GOOD!

book is too basic and poorly written.

I purchased kindle version but do you have downloadable datasets ? It is not allowing me to copy from screen due to kindle version.

This book is useless. In chapter 3, there are 11 data sets that seem to mimic a real world clinical trial project. But these data are not used in the later chapters for illustration of practice. The table of contents looks good, and at first glance, seems to teach basic steps in clinical programming - which belies the worthless book and cheats me into buying it. Poorly organized, little connection between chapters, no online access to data and codes for readers to replicate the examples, to name a few. I strong DISCOURAGE you to expend money and time on this useless garbage book.

Also ich kann jedem angehenden SAS Programmierer/innen das Buch nur empfehlen. Der Anteil über das CDISC dürfte selbst erfahrerenen Programmierern von Nutzem sein. Das Buch ist so wundervoll strukturiert mittels direkten Anwendungsbezug und Beispielen. Ein MUST-HAVE.Der Schreibstil insgesamt hat eher etwas davon das dies simpel mit WORD angefertigt wurde-soll nicht stören.Endlich mal was mit allem ganz simpel und zeitgemäß. Für alle die im Pharmabereich anfangen ! solltend das Buch zwangsweise lesen- das erübrigt viele Fragen die man sonst seinen Kollegen stellen müsste.Empfehlenswert ist selbstverständlich auch das Buch von Jack Shostak, ich habe beide im Besitz und gebe Mr.Prasad Platz 1

Easy book

Great introduction for the price, I work with SAS for clinical trials and this has been very useful as more companies gear towards SAS and CDISC.

It's simplified and gives more information
