This question is just so vague that it's hard to answer.  Learn what
parts of SAS? And learn it how well?  In order to do what?

I've been using SAS Base and SAS Stat pretty steadily for about a
decade.  I'm STILL learning.  And that's just a little of BASE and a lot
of STAT.  There's tons of stuff in BASE I don't know, not to mention all
the other SAS modules....

Could you provide some detail?

A friend of mine wants to learn SAS.  For those of you who have
learned
it recently, how long did it take to know a reasonable amount, and
what
resources did you use?

Did anyone learn via the Learning Edition?

Please give me ideas on what has helped you learn SAS.

I may be helping him to learn SAS, but it has been a long time since I
first learned it.

Thanks for any info you can give.
