Excellent way to learn Stata

The book is arranged as a tutorial introduction to Stata, explaining the statistics and how to implement these in Stata.It is well-crafted, showing different approaches where tasks are repeated tasks in different chapters and increasing in complexity and adding new twists and features as you go through.I was new to Stata and read the Getting Started Manual and then this. It was an excellent way to get comfortable in the new environment.Don't expect to learn a lot of statistics, but it illustrates a way of thinking about statistics that runs with the grain of the package.This relates to the 3rd edition of the book that has been updated for Stata version 8.
