Also, there are zillions of worked examples out there although you might 
have to dig around a little; see "Resources for learning Stata" at

http://www.stata.com/links/resources1.html

Plus, it is often a pretty straightforward matter to take an example 
developed using one program and convert it into a Stata problem.  In fact, 
I initially took an example from Hamilton and converted it into SPSS; and 
when I realized that it was really much easier just to do it in Stata I 
decided to start teaching Stata in my courses.
