My latest purchase was SAS in Practice. This is a skill set that I have always intended to acquire but the time and cost were always prohibitive. That is, until Packt Publishing offered it. I can study on my time and at a very affordable price. Why sit in a class spending thousands of dollars, and never retaining what you have learned? Again, I can study on my terms and if I forget what I learned … I can watch it again!
