Abstracts -
 
Web Enabling Your SAS Application
James Sun
 
The Internet and intranet have quickly become important vehicles for
information delivery. The Web-enabled SAS application can greatly
benefit organizations which need to communicate information to large and
geographically dispersed user bases, which may be within or outside the
organization.  With SAS/IntrNet Software,  users will be able to reduce
the development time and costs that are normally associated with Web
enablement.
 
This presentation will describe tools and techniques used to build web
applications with the SAS system.  Topics covered include setting up the
working environment, generating SAS output through the Web browser, and
developing thin client Web based SAS application.  The implementation of
some of the examples does not require SAS/IntrNet.

has worked as a statistician and SAS programmer in the pharmaceutical
industry.  One of his specialties is in designing and implementing
Intranet based applications to streamline clinical trial data

Introduction to HTML - No Magic Involved
Bob Bertolatus
 
This talk will explain how web pages are created, how they are placed on
the internet, and how they get delivered to your browser.  While it is
truly amazing, there is really no magic involved.  Basic HTML will be
discussed as well as a demonstration of a current Web authoring program.

consultant since 1985, working mostly in the telecomunications
