本科会计,研究生读的应用经济学,在美国生活多年所以英语很好,数学和统计还可以吧,但计算机除了会用office的word excel ppt其他一无所知,最近开始接触SAS,很感兴趣,这两天刚把little sas book读完,感觉还不错,但我也知道那只是一本很基础的教材,不知如果想深入学习比如sql和macro,是否需要一定的计算机基础?

First, you need to learn SAS/Base. Practicing it by examing sample codes is much more important than reading books. SAS manuals are the best books which you may download them from SAS website.
Once you feel you are good at SAS/base. You may start to learn SAS/Macro. SAS/Macro is nothing but a SAS codes generator. If you don't have a 'good' SAS/base programming skill, how can you instruct SAS/Macro to write 'nice' SAS programs?
After all, learning SAS language does not need any advanced degrees.
