Hello SAS users.  I am new to SAS (been using it for a month) and I am
looking for ways to develop skills.  I am working for a contracting
company that has staff in the pharmaceutical, automotive, and medical
industries.  I want to develop skills that would be useful for data
analysis in these industries.  I am a very fast learner and I recently
received my BS in Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan
in Ann Arbor.  Please give suggestions of projects I could work on to
improve my skills.
I am personally interested in gambling and probabilities.  I was
wondering how I could use SAS to create a data set of shuffled cards.
Any suggestions?  I know that the following program will create a data
set of an unshuffled deck of cards (1=Ace, 11=Jack, 12=Queen, 13=King).
But what if I want them to be randomized?

Data cards;
            Do card = 1 to 13;
                        Do i = 1 to 4;
                                    Output;
                        End;
            End;
Run;

Feel free to respond directly to my email address.  Thank you.

Kevin
