 At SAS Education we pride ourselves on listening and responding to our students, and the SAS Training Report is no exception. You've told us how much you enjoy the original content we provide in Coder's Corner, so we've expanded this area to include even more programming tips and course information. We've heard you loud and clear and have brought back our popular instructor profiles as well. This issue also presents the debut installment of our newest feature, "Questions from the Field," where instructors answer real questions from real students. As always, we appreciate your feedback and hope to include as many of your ideas in future issues as we possibly can. Please feel free to e-mail me directly at trainingreport@sas.com if you have any comments about our publication.
Finally, SAS Global Forum is right around the corner. If you plan to attend and haven't done so already, sign up for one of Education's training or certification events before or after the conference. And during the conference, be sure to stop by the SAS Education booth to say "hi." See you in Orlando!
Sincerely,
Larry LaRusso
Editor, SAS Training Report
