Hi,

Thanks everyone for the replies via post and email!

My friend is an engineer who does some statistics on the job. That is
how we got talking about it.  He said he would like to learn SAS, get
certification, and get a different job. I am going to ask him more
details about that.  I feel like I need to flush out exactly what he
wants and to see what is possible.  What kind of job exactly does he
want, etc.  And is it likely he can get a job after learning SAS, but
not having used SAS on any job.

Anyway... I have a copy of The Little SAS book, and some other basic
books.  He asked about the Learning Edition.  I see there is a book
"SAS Certification Prep Guide: Base Programming" which looks helpful...
