Re: st: Stata resources for newbie

[Richard Williams <richardwilliams.ndu@gmail.com>]

Numerous freebie resources are listed at

http://www.stata.com/links/resources-for-learning-stata/

I myself use the UCLA pages a lot. My own Stata highlights page is at

http://www3.nd.edu/~rwilliam/stats/StataHighlights.html

For books, see

http://www.stata.com/bookstore/books-on-stata/

The book by Hamilton is the classic and it is what I used when I 
started. But several good newer books (e.g. Acock) have come along in 
recent years. Which you prefer might depend on your field of study.
