SAS Viya is a high-performance, fault-tolerant analytics architecture that can be deployed on both public and private cloud infrastructures. While SAS Viya can be used by various SAS applications, it also enables you to access analytic methods from SAS, Python, Lua, and Java, as well as through a REST interface using HTTP or HTTPS. This book focuses on the perspective of SAS Viya from Python. SAS Viya is made up of multiple components. The central piece of this ecosystem is SAS Cloud Analytic Services (CAS). CAS is the cloud-based server that all clients communicate with to run analytical methods. The Python client is used to drive the CAS component directly using objects and constructs that are familiar to Python programmers. Some knowledge of Python would be helpful before using this book; however, there is an appendix that covers the features of Python that are used in the CAS Python client. Knowledge of CAS is not required to use this book. However, you will need to have a CAS server set up and running to execute the examples in this book.  With this book, you will learn how to: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstall the required components for accessing CAS from Python \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect to CAS, load data, and run simple analyses \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork with CAS using APIs familiar to Python users \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrasp general CAS workflows and advanced features of the CAS Python client \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSAS\u003csup\u003e \u003c\/sup\u003e Viya\u003csup\u003e \u003c\/sup\u003e: The Python Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e covers topics that will be useful to beginners as well as experienced CAS users.
