Attend this course for an introduction to data discovery and report creation in SAS Visual Analytics.

In this course, you’ll learn:

• How to work with data items.
• Create data items.
• Explore and analyze data with charts and graphs.
• Create reports in SAS Visual Analytics.

This workshop uses SAS Viya Workbench to inform programmers about the merits of the SAS® DATA Step and Python for data manipulation, empowering them to make informed decisions when selecting tools and methodologies for their data science projects.

Attendees will:

• Adopt a dynamic, comparative approach, leveraging the Python programming language.
• Delve into Python’s rich ecosystem of libraries for data manipulation and examine powerful libraries such as Pandas.
• Discover how to perform similar data manipulation tasks using Python’s intuitive syntax and extensive library support.
• Gain proficiency in using Python’s capabilities for data management tasks, including data cleaning, preprocessing and transformation.

Note: This course requires you bring your own personal laptop to access course materials and participate in activities that require digital interaction.

This course is for SAS programmers who want to learn how to run code on the SAS Viya platform. The course focuses on how to access, manage, analyze, and manipulate in-memory tables on the distributed CAS server using traditional SAS code as well as new coding techniques. This course is not intended for beginning SAS software users.

In the course, you’ll learn:

• How you can easily run traditional SAS code in SAS Viya like you have in SAS®9.
• Modernize your SAS code to take advantage of SAS Cloud Analytic Services (CAS) on the platform to boost program performance. CAS is a high-performance, in-memory analytic engine that performs massively parallel processing (MPP) on data of any size, working with multiple machines, CPUs and threads for lightning-fast results.

Note: This course requires you bring your own personal laptop to access course materials and participate in activities that require digital interaction.

In this course, learn to support the migration from SAS 9.4 to SAS Viya. Participants will have the opportunity to plan, prepare, execute and validate a migration of content from SAS 9.4 to SAS Viya.

This course begins with an overview of the options for migrating to the SAS Viya platform. It reviews migration support for SAS®9 content and how that content migrates to the platform.

• The SAS content assessment tool is used to understand the SAS®9 source environment and assess its readiness to migrate.
• The SAS Viya target environment is reviewed, and any configuration changes that are required to support the migration are performed.
• SAS Environment Manager and the SAS Viya command-line interface are used to import SAS®9 content to the SAS Viya platform.

The course ends with a review and validation of the migration results. The content that has been migrated is tested, and any additional steps needed to complete the migration are performed.

Note: This course requires you bring your own personal laptop to access course materials and participate in activities that require digital interaction.

1. Getting Started With Generative AI

2. SAS® Viya® 4: Advanced Topics in Authentication – Core
   This tutorial covers advanced topics in authentication for SAS Viya. Authentication into, within and out of the platform will be covered. This workshop introduces the supported authentication mechanisms and focuses on providing an overview of all supported mechanisms.

1. Applied Mixed Models
   In this tutorial, you'll learn to fit and interpret linear mixed models generalized linear mixed models, and repeated measures analysis. Examples of mixed models will be shown, including two-way mixed models, analysis of covariance with random effects, repeated measures, binary response variables and Poisson response variables. A brief introduction to massive mixed models will also be addressed.
   
   
2. DevOps With SAS® Viya® and GitLab
   This comprehensive tutorial offers a unique opportunity to learn how to use SAS Viya content development with GitLab repositories, facilitating seamless DevOps collaborations and maximizing efficiency in code development and automation. The tutorial emphasizes the implementation of GitLab continuous integration and continuous deliver (CI/CD) pipelines to automate development processes in SAS Studio.
