sicp

I also have started doing SICP recently with Racket and `#lang sicp`. Sometimes I skip some exercises and will come back to them at a later time. It allows me to choose when to advance reading the text or make the exercises. So far in section 3.1.3. Discovered MIT Scheme in 1996 at university, got plenty of scheme books for years including SICP, and each year telling myself that I should do this classic. I am reading the pdf version of https://github.com/sarabander/sicp because it is more practical than using the paper book. Recently I bought the instructor's version of the book.

Apart from another HTML rendition, there's also an e-reader-ready epub rendition (from the HTMLs obv.) at https://github.com/sarabander/sicp?tab=readme-ov-file#sicp

HTML5 version that is designed to look like pdf version https://sarabander.github.io/sicp/ https://github.com/sarabander/sicp

I'll recommend the videos from the 1980s and this version of the text, which is set nicely and has working footnotes. Videos: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-compu... Text: https://github.com/sarabander/sicp (links to epub and html versions at the top of the README)

> I would appreciate a few concrete examples (very much like [::-1] and 100*100) that would allow me to get what LISP really is about. You mean like (reverse "asd") and (* 10000 10000)? That's not really what gives you an impression of Lisp, rather a bit of syntax ([::-1], the paragon of readability) and large integers. :P This article might help: https://www.defmacro.org/ramblings/lisp.html Also, if you really want to see what it's about you can read SICP: https://xuanji.appspot.com/isicp/ https://github.com/sarabander/sicp

"An abstraction is a sign for a computational object." Writing that on my wall. Over the past year, I have revisited the SICP [0] and the audio recording of a one-week short course that Hal Abelson and Gerry Sussman taught for HP [1]. You nailed it. [0]: "The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs", https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_and_Interpretation... (see also https://github.com/sarabander/sicp ) [1]: http://cabezal.com/sicp/

IMO opinion this is the best version around: http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/ Also available as epub: https://github.com/sarabander/sicp

Idera (nee Borland) must be stoked, they potentially just created 1 million new Delphi programmers in a 2nd world country. I'd add a bullet point to the sheet. * One million Turkish kids This isn't necessarily corruption. And we have no idea what they paid. The internet is lousy in Turkey, having a stand alone system with documentation, an IDE and a great debugger will work really well in that environment. Pascal is a perfectly fine language. In my universe they started using Racket and The New Turing Omnibus (for middle school) and then The Little ____ Books [2] and then on to Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs [3] [1] https://racket-lang.org/ [2] http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/books.html [3] https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/index.html https://github.com/sarabander/sicp

If you're looking to learn more FP, may I recommend SICP? https://github.com/sarabander/sicp If you google around you'll find it highly regarded. After the first chapter or two you can move away from working in the trenches and work on a more abstract level. The concepts are what make FP shine, and once you know them, you can bring those concepts into many OOP languages to your advantage.

If you want to read SICP, it is available in HTML, EPUB here: https://github.com/sarabander/sicp also here: https://sicpebook.wordpress.com/ebook/. Not available in EPUB on Amazon or Google.

I also like this free HTML5 (and EPUB3) version as well. It just feels really clean. https://github.com/sarabander/sicp http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/html/index.xhtml

this was posted here a few weeks ago but for posterity [1][2] is an HTML5 and EPUB3 version of SICP with 'SVGs, mathematical markup with MathML and MathJax, embedded web fonts, and syntax highlighting'. there's a PDF version[3] from the same author with decent typesetting. additionally I came across [4], SICP in an interactive textbook form with editable code fragments.
