If you’re still thinking about reading SICP, here’s an article, written by Abelson and Sussman shortly after publishing the first edition of the book, that may dispel your doubts: Lisp: A language for stratified design . It’s a quick distillation of some of the central themes discussed at length in SICP, with accompanying code. Some of them may seem old hat these days (the article was published in 1987), but they’re as relevant as they were back in the day, and it’s difficult to find them exposed in as good (let alone a better) a way. Its dozen pages are full of quotable pearls of wisdom.
SICP distilled
This site exists to make it easier to use Clojure rather than Scheme while working through SICP . The folks behind SICP were kind enough to release it under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 Unported License , which will allow me to annotate the text and adapt its source code and exercises to fit the Clojure language. Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs , or SICP , is widely considered one of the most influential texts in computer science education. If you believe Peter Norvig, it will change your life . MIT Scheme , a minimalist dialect of Lisp, is used for all code examples and exercises.

Is SICP just a book?
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.
As I wrote just the other day, our study group has encountered the first really meaty part of SICP . Thanks to the combination of lecture notes, the books, and the 20-year-old videos of G. J. Sussman counting his parentheses, I have come to a few interesting conclusions about writing algorithmic programs. I have no formal CS education. I am an autodidact.

As part of the launch, much of our back catalog of courses that we were unable to migrate out of a proprietary format which we no longer support are now unavailable.
I have the habit of writing reviews for the books I’ve read, and recently I noticed that something is missing. SICP. I’ve definitely read it, so I should probably write a review, eh ?

SICP revisited: OOP in Scheme
Quite some time ago, I set out to work through the course materials at MIT’s OpenCourseWare website for the introductory Computer Science course Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs . I wanted to tackle the fundamental CS concepts that the course presented, but I also wanted to learn Scheme , the elegant Lisp dialect that SICP uses to illustrate its concepts. I was lucky enough to have some excellent help from a group of people who wanted to work through the course together.
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, Video Lecture
SICP p 360 I have always wanted the hardback, but have been put off before by the cost. Then again this is the kind of book you feel you should have a hardback copy of. Just like you should have a copy of the Knuth's Art of Computer Programming (even though I don't) or the Beatle's White Album (nope). So when given a chance to have it as a present of course I said yes. "The evaluator, which determines the meaning of expressions in a programming language, is just another program"
Two classic hardbacks
Lisp: A Report from the Trenches
A year ago, I began studying Lisp and Emacs. I would ultimately get through about half of SICP and code up a few small Lisp projects that mainly showed how far I was from grasping the point . Having Emacs skills did come in handy a few times, though.
SICP - conclusion
I’ve completed the SICP reading project, which I began on June 19th, 2007 . In hindsight, it seems like a very long time (almost a year!), during which this was my main hacking project at home. So, in this conclusion I want to examine my progress, and compare the result with my initial goals.
