If anyone is interested, I can offer a Stata tutorial. This will probably be of interest to fellow social scientists. I will cover the basics (directory structure, built-in datasets, reading and writing datasets, memory management, log files, logical operators, by-groups, subscripting, data validation & assertions, data merging, installing packages), more advanced stuff (macros, command syntax & programming, loops, debugging, temporarily destroying data, temporary variables, do and ado files, scalars & matrices, return lists, capture & quietly, version control, the Mata programming language), and if time permits I will give an overview of basic econometric commands including how Stata handles gracefully time series operators. E-mail me at rafal.raciborski @ emory.edu if you're interested.
