The self-study e-learning includes:
- Annotatable course notes in PDF format.
- Virtual Lab time to practice.
Learn how to
- Build application windows using FRAME entries.
- Create, compile, and execute SAS Component Language (SCL) programs.
- Use the model/viewer paradigm for displaying information.
- View and edit data in tables.
- Create and use SCL lists.
- Share information between application windows.
- Use region attachments to control the placement and size of components when the component's frame is resized.
- Deploy an application.
