Welcome to SAS Studio

Welcome to SAS Studio! This document is a short introduction to SAS Studio and covers how to perform basic programming tasks in SAS Studio. You can follow these steps and use the sample data in the Sashelp library that is shipped with SAS software.
Many people program in SAS by using an application on their PC desktop or SAS server. SAS Studio is different because it is a tool that you can use to write and run SAS code through your web browser. With SAS Studio, you can access your data files, libraries, and existing programs and write new programs. When you use SAS Studio, you are also using SAS software behind the scenes. SAS Studio connects to a SAS server in order to process SAS commands. The SAS server can be a hosted server in a cloud environment, a server in your local environment, or a copy of SAS on your local machine. After the code is processed, the results are returned to SAS Studio.
