STOP PRESS!
I’m presenting on SAS Studio and ODS Graphics at the London SUGUKI Meetup on 10Jan2019.
Attend the meeting for a chance to win an ebook in the draw! Note that you meet register at http://www.meetup.com/SUGUKI to be allowed into the meetup, where you can find more details about this and other SUGUKI events.
Hope to meet you there…………Phil
Are you going to PharmaSUG 2019 in Philadelphia? My paper, “The Art of Defensive Programming: Coping with Unseen Data”, is listed on the “Sneak Preview” page! This paper forms part of my Defensive SAS Programming course.
The conference runs from 16-19 June 2019, but I’m hoping to arrange my flights across the Atlantic so my wife and I can take in some of our “bucket” list in Boston and Niagara.
Hope to meet up with you in Philadelphia, and maybe even see you at my presentation!
Now that I have Mondays free from client-related contracts, I am able to do whatever I want, such as work in my garden, read books, write my own books and articles, develop apps and other software applications, or even give SAS training! So, to help you book 1-hour 1-to-1 training sessions with me to talk about the SAS topics of your choosing, I have created a SAS training session booking calendar.
Training sessions will be provided using Google Calendar and Hangouts, and cost GBP100.00 for each hour. The booking form allows you to copy in your chosen SAS-related topics from the list provided, and then we get together at the selected time for an hour of discussion around that topic, so you will be able to ask me any questions you need answering to learn more about SAS software. The topic selection allows me to prepare demonstrations and information specifically for the session, and other topics will be added to the list over time.
Note that I will only send out one Google Calendar invite, but, if you want to have some friends and colleagues around to join in, then that will be just fine.
Do you want to search Amazon from my blog site? You can now, because I’ve added 2 new links into the Menu under Holland Numerics Product Shop to Search Amazon.com and Search Amazon.co.uk.
By using this link it won’t cost you any more than going to Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk directly, but a small commission will be paid to Holland Numerics to support the blog site, if you purchase anything on Amazon.
Please support my blog site by buying from Amazon here as an alternative to downloading and buying through the Holland Numerics Product Shop!
Have I told you about who won the Prize Draw at the October SUGUKI meeting in London? I don’t think I have, so I’d better rectify this omission and tell you that Richie McKern won a copy of the my Practical ODS Graphics Course notes as an ebook on a USB key in the Prize Draw, along with a load of other SAS-related papers.
My presentation on Annotate and ODS Graphics was well-received by a small band of SAS enthusiasts. I’ve not heard when I’ll next be presenting at a SUGUKI meeting, but I can tell you that my next presentation will be “Using SAS Studio Tasks to Plot with ODS Graphics”.
Looking forward to seeing you there, whenever it is.

Are you recruiting for SAS jobs in India? Would you like free advertising space?
I am looking for recruiters to post on my blog site, at least 1 for each of the 5 regions: Americas, Europe, UK, India and Pacific, because the registered members come from all 5 regions. To maintain the free trial any recruiter must post at least one SAS job from their region in each calendar month, specifically in India, where more than 1/3 of the membership live and, in addition, more non-members visit the site from there too, but there are currently no active recruiters for India. You should be aware that posting in other regions will be perfectly acceptable, but only job posts in your specified region will maintain your free trial. Note, however, that if you miss a month, then the trial period will end, and you will need to decide whether or not you want to pay a subscription to regain Recruiter status.
Join us and register as a Free member on http://blog.hollandnumerics.org.uk and then reply to the registration email you will receive with your selected region to start your unending trial.
