Introduction
My main argument is that user-written Stata packages are the source of learning Stata programming. But how to get started? How can we find packages that of our interest? For example, if you are trying to write a package that offers a new type of graph, it is very reasonable that you begin with packages that are graphical-oriented, offering new types of graphs. Reading such packages help you to be much more efficient in developing your graph.
Finding user-written Stata packages that are close to your interest or close to the packages that you wish to develop is as important of doing a literature search when you are about to initiate a new research or write a new journal article. Luckily, there are some ways for finding a sort of programs that might be closer to your interest. ssc describe followed by an alphabetic article, will describe all the packages that begin with that letter. more over, typing ssc describe followed by the package name, prints a complete description of the package. Still, You need to have a complete list of packages to search for the keywords of interests.
At the time of writing this article, there have been 2039 packages published on SSC server and for sure, many more packages on other servers. I am printing the list of available packages for Stata on SSC server to point out that there is a huge community of Stata programmers and their programms are excellent source for practicing programming. The archive also includes Stata packages that are not hosted on SSC server. These packages are shown in orange color to be distinguished from SSC packages.
