  It was kinda based on How To Design Programs (http://www.htdp.org/ http://www.htdp.org/) though to be honest I never touched the book and relied mostly on the in class instruction (which was what made this class awesome IMHO). I found the website for a newer version of the class: http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~cs1102/a08/ http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~cs1102/a08/ and OMG! I found the assignment! http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~cs1102/a08/Assignments/Hwk2/index.html http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~cs1102/a08/Assignments/Hwk2/index.htm... > A function update-world that consumes a world and produces a world reflecting what happens when no key is pressed OK, not phrased quite how I remember it but I guess that's where the epiphany happened :) I took another class with her that was programming languages, and we used Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation (https://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs173/2012/book/ https://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs173/2012/book/) and the course website (http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~cs4536/a14/ http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~cs4536/a14/) This class also had some great epiphanies for me, but again, I think the instruction being top notch helped keep my attention going. This is more advanced stuff conceptually.
