Preface to the Second Edition
It’s been almost 11 years since the first edition of this book was published, and I felt that it was time to bring it up-to-date. One major change is that all the SAS output is now displayed as HTML images, using the default style HTMLBlue. Not only does it look nicer than the old monospaced listing output, but the book figures are now images that can be viewed and sized on e-devices.
While we are on the topic of major changes, I should mention that a new chapter on Perl regular expressions was added, and the previous SAS/GRAPH chapter was replaced by a chapter on PROC SGPLOT. This procedure is easier to use than SAS/GRAPH, and (drum roll please) it is included with Base SAS.
