Danny Modlin

SAS

As SAS celebrates its 50th anniversary, take a moment to consider the past, present, and future of statistical programming. In this presentation, look back at our roots, the SAS procedural programming language, reminisce over graphical user interfaces that changed the way we interact with code, and look to the future where AI tools assist with our programming based on an iterative, back-and-forth conversation with SAS copilots.

10:35 AM - 11:35 AM ET

La petite SAS package - a workshop about the "Hello World" SAS package.

This presentation will introduce the idea of SAS packages and answer questions such as what they are, what kinds of jobs they can be used for, and how they can benefit users. Since this session is workshop based, it will also include a demonstration showing how easy it is to get started with SAS packages and build one.
