I am writing from the perspective of someone who isn't a CS major and is trying to learn programming on my own. I am very interested in the CS aspects of programming but am finding it hard to learn it in an approachable and understandable way.
If an "ivory tower" approach is working, I'm on board, but I bet more people get value out of SICP after they have a lot of classes and experience under their belt and not the other way around.
- passthejoe 8y agoBooks like SICP are touted -- if not by the authors, then by those who got a lot out of them -- as the one true key to knowledge. I think we all gravitate toward that ideal, and we want one book to teach us everything, but reality is often more complicated, and one person's steak is another person's ... not steak.
