Re: st: What to Tell others to learn Stata in a short time period

[Teresio Poggio <terlist@gmail.com>]

Hi Anees,

Stata help files and Statalist are crucial resources and two of the
main reasons to use Stata in my point of view. But their use often
involves that you already know what are you looking for. This is not
always the case for beginners.

There are several good books from StataPress targeted to Stata's beginners.

When first approaching Stata, as an autodidact, I've found really
useful the tutorials available on-line. Now they are even more than in
the past:

I'm particularly in debt with colleagues at UCLA:

Hope this helps.
Best

Teresio
