Distributed Programming in SAS® Viya® for Data Analysts

Welcome to the Preparing for the SAS Viya Programming Certification Exam course. This is the third and final course in the Coursera SAS Programmer specialization. You will apply what you have learned in the first two courses by writing code to execute in SAS Cloud Analytic Services and practicing for the SAS certification exams. This is an advanced course, intended for learners who have completed the first two courses in the Coursera SAS Programmer specialization: SAS Programming for Distributed Computing in SAS Viya and CASL Programming for Distributed Computing in SAS Viya. By the end of the course, you be prepared to take either of these SAS credential exams: - SAS® Viya® Programming Associate - SAS® Viya® Programming Specialist

Welcome to the CASL Programming for Distributed Computing in SAS Viya course. SAS Viya is an AI, analytic and data management platform running on a scalable, distributed, cloud-native architecture. In this course you will learn how how to use the native CAS programming language (CASL) to leverage SAS Cloud Analytics Services (CAS), the high-performance, in-memory analytics and distributed computing engine in SAS Viya . You will learn how to use CASL to access, explore, prepare, analyze, and summarize data in the CAS server's massively parallel processing environment. This is an advanced course, intended for learners with at least one year of programming experience with a modern language: (SAS, R, Python, SQL, and so on), and at least one year of experience working with data. To be successful in this course, you should have a general understanding of fundamental computer programming concepts and the data analytics lifecycle. By the end of the course, you will be able to: - Understand and use various SAS Viya servers. - Connect to the CAS server to access and manage data. - Use CASL to explore, prepare and analyze data. - Create reports and visualizations using SAS Viya.
