I just finished re-reading SICP. If you're going to read it on a screen, I recommend this version: http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/ http://sarabander.github.io

I'm 1/3 of the way through The Little Schemer. So far, it's not taught me anything I didn't already grok from SICP. I hope it picks up!
- rbonvall 8y agoI cruised through most of it. But the last three chapters really twisted my brain (continuations, the Y combinator, and the metacircular interpreter). I was familiar with the concepts, but figuring out the programs by myself was a tough exercise (I haven't read SICP though).

- senderista 8y agoTrust me, it will :) The last few chapters on CPS and the Y combinator are roughly a vertical segment on an otherwise nearly horizontal learning curve.
