Please do not buy these paperbacks from resellers (when they eventually become available), like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc., as the resellers overinflate their prices, but wait for discounted prices for the paperbacks on Lulu.com between the 1st and 30th day of “odd” months (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep and Nov), or download the equivalent ebooks instead (always discounted) from the Book Table, which is where the lowest prices for my paperbacks and ebooks can always be found. #sas #altairslc #books #ebooks #discount #programming

VIEWS News 79 (2025Q2) has been published!
This newsletter is the home of Foundation SAS and brings you information about making the most of SAS 9 and Altair SLC. This issue is another one that has been delayed, but this time due to software issues on my blog server, which have now been resolved. This newsletter issue includes an updated InfoGeographic map from LeRoy Bessler, and I have discovered a database of pirated books and papers and written an open letter to Meta, who used it to train its AI assistant. I have also published a 2nd Edition of my “SAS Programming Experiences” and “Altair SLC” paperbacks and ebooks, which include the updates found in Altair SLC 2025, and have explained how to get copies at the best available prices. As usual I have publicised some SAS‑related events for the next few months, and I have also added some more SAS formats, options and functions that you may or may not have come across before, but you might find interesting, and even useful. #sas #altairslc #programming #newsletter #views #hints #tips

Every day the server has downtime for a backup, and I have found that, if the blog server is closed for that period, it is more stable during the rest of the day. #blog #server #downtime #schedule
