What I Expect from Students ( This course might seems Short, but none of the courses will teach you the basics and error handling as this course do) :

Warning : Course might be boring for first few sections, as we deal with Basic building block (Base SAS Theoretical concept), after that You will be learning tips and tricks and will be applying the same.

Please if you don't have patience don't opt this course, as first 4 sections are really boring as they deal with theory and concepts.

- I will be adding bonus Lecture soon..of how to become part of SAS community and interact with SAS People all over the world and will be sharing few social groups that you can join for Jobs and Doubts.
