Let’s keep the thread going. Does anyone else have a favorite website that is you visit often?

Subject: Useful and free analytic research/learning websites – following up a UA Week hallway conversation

One of several interesting conversations that occurred in the hallways during UA Week in Orlando sparked the sharing of these reference sites that I have found very useful over my analytic/programming career across various roles.   

1. http://www.lexjansen.com – type in any key word(s) and this site searches over 37,000+ user written papers from SAS user conferences from all over the world. This site is great at helping you find specific examples of how SAS users conquered similar or the same type of analytic/techology problem you are looking to solve.
2.  http://robslink.com/SAS/Home.htm – provides l00’s of examples of producing all sorts of different type of graphs/reports/dashboards to display information and typically provides you with the code and the data used to produce end result.

For deeper SAS specific references and resources these are my top three:

1. https://www.youtube.com/user/SASsoftware – All sorts of videos about SAS, SAS events, teaching basics of SAS programming and analytics, highlighting SAS customer stories and more…
2. https://github.com/sassoftware – open source from SAS software. Two of the best contributions IMO is the Jupyter kernel for SAS and the SAS Scripting Wrapper for Analytics Transfer (SWAT).
3. http://support.sas.com – official SAS documentation, SAS communities, SAS Technical Support, free SAS Training, SAS Certification, SAS books. One of the subsections I find quite useful is the Focus Areas and the Free SAS Tutorials.

 I hope this information proves useful and encourage others to share their favorite analytics related reference/learning sites in the comments section.

Hello UAI Members,

I hope everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving with their friends and family! Before you start stuffing your faces this week I wanted to leave you with a parting message. For this week’s #WisdomWednesday post I will not be sharing a quote or piece of wisdom but instead sharing what I am thankful for this year, all of you! Each and every one of you make my job an absolute joy and I’m beyond blessed to not only call you my colleagues but my friends as well.

To every new/seasoned member of UAI, THANK YOU and I hope you take time to rest and reconnect this week.

Hello UAI Members,

If you’re having a gloomy weather day (like I’m having today in Jacksonville) then this #WisdomWednesday post is for you! Sometimes we all feel a little gloomy and need a little pick me up. Fortunately one of my favorite actors Channing Tatum has a funny quote for us today (and a much needed excuse to go for the double cheeseburger).

Have a funny quote you would like to share? Cheer us up and make us laugh in the reply section below!

“Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things, like a double cheeseburger!”

Hello UAI Members,

Happy Wednesday! If you’re anything like me technology can be a “double-edged sword,” sometimes it’s the best thing and other times it’s enormously frustrating! When frustrated, I remind myself of all the ways technology allows me to stay connected with friends, family, and colleagues which is why today’s #WisdomWednesday quote, courtesy of social media entrepreneur Matt Mullenweg, is an important reminder that … 

“Technology is best when it brings people together”

As always if you have a quote you would like to share, let us know by using hashtag #WisdomWednesday in the reply section below!
