Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

Read books you'll never find a job with, like SICP.

SICP

Let Over Lambda and SICP are what really got me turned into a lifetime lisp lover.

Structure And Interpretation of Computer Programs by Ableson and Sussman. Great book, it's how I learned to love Lisp.

cannot recommend sicp enough

Structure and Interpretations of Computer Programs - Abelson

If you are concerned with the core concepts of computing with Von Neumann-esque machines then SICP will certainly cover it.

SICP's big mind-expanding thing is that it teaches CS 101 through the process of building, from within a computational system, an entirely new computational system

favour HtDP over SICP at first

SICP is absolutely worth reading

Working through the original SICP (including doing ALL of the exercises!) had the largest tangible positive effect on my ability to code

In any case, sicp is great, just read it.

SICP is the bomb.

I think it won’t ever hurt to know the topics in SICP.

Read SICP. even if you don't end up writing any Scheme, you'll be a better programmer for it.

SICP is a book that is a bit hard to start.

SICP is a beautiful book.

Try SICP at some point, no matter what else you learn.

programming has changed a lot since SICP came out

SICP is the best programming book i've ever read, and one of the best of any kind.

like SICP, it offers a different way of looking at things

SICP is a great and mind-expanding book; but I came to it fairly late

the videos, read the relevant part of the book

There are versions of SICP adapted for Python like this one: https://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/sp12/book/ and https://wizardforcel.gitbooks.io/sicp-in-python/content/.

I dont know about practicality but Ive read a good amount of SICP and find it very entertaining

SICP provided a different way of understanding programming.

SICP is an amazing book that will make you a better programmer

SICP gets challenging in the very first chapter. You should aim to do about 1/3rd of the exercises

The concepts in SICP are timeless. There's nothing to be lost going through that book.

I think so.

there are a couple reasons to read those books

SICP.

SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs)

when i first read SICP years ago

I've read it after 5 years of professional experience and it was a very good read.

The book I most recommend for any software professional.

Maybe Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP)?

Obviously TAOCP, SICP, K&R, and other books in their ranks are better answers.

SICP

SICP, JS edition (great read, I do a lot of JS work and I’ve learned a lot

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. It's a very challenging book

7. Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

SICP

I love SICP, it really make functional programming click for me.

SICP for CS and programming. That book (and its exercises) really instilled in me the thought patterns that drastically improved my programming skills

SICP. I only read a little, but that little bit was enough for something to really click for me.

I'm not completely sure what would have been my experience if SICP was my first contact with CS.

Programming - Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

one of the best books (IMO) on algorithmic thinking is SICP.

SICP is a fantastic and difficult book.

SICP. It's just that good.

SICP

SICP, On Lisp, and Let over Lambda

We were all lucky to get her and SICP.

The book: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

SICP takes _ages_.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP)

I only ever read the first 2 chapters of SICP but always intended to go back

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

I appreciated getting from maths to CS with Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

The entire book Structure and Intrerpretation of Computer Programs is like that.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, where the reader implements a Lisp
