https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_and_Interpretation_of_Computer_Programs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_and_Interpretation_o... ">Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) is a computer science textbook by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman. It is known as the Wizard Book in hacker culture.[1][2] It teaches fundamental principles of computer programming, including recursion, abstraction, modularity, and programming language design and implementation. The MIT Press published the first edition in 1985, and the second edition in 1996. It was formerly used as the textbook for MIT's introductory course in electrical engineering and computer science. SICP focuses on discovering general patterns for solving specific problems, and building software systems that make use of those patterns.[3] The book describes computer science concepts using Scheme, a dialect of Lisp. It also uses a virtual register machine and assembler to implement Lisp interpreters and compilers. Characters Several fictional characters appear in the book: Alyssa P. Hacker, a Lisp hacker Ben Bitdiddle, a hardware expert Cy D. Fect, a "reformed C programmer" Eva Lu Ator, an evaluator Lem E. Tweakit, an irate user Louis Reasoner, a loose reasoner Coursework The book was used as the textbook for MIT's former introductory programming course, 6.001.[5] That course was replaced by 6.0001,[6] which uses Python.[7] Other schools also made use of the book as a course textbook.[8] It is used as the textbook for MIT's Large Scale Symbolic Systems class, 6.945.[9] Reception Byte recommended SICP "for professional programmers who are really interested in their profession". The magazine said that the book was not easy to read, but that it would expose experienced programmers to both old and new topics.[10] Influence SICP has been influential in computer science education, and several later books have been inspired by its style."

This is one of the best books I have read on any topic. It's marvelous. If you want to run the code you can use Racket with the SICP language mode: https://docs.racket-lang.org/sicp-manual/index.html#%28part._.Installation%29 https://docs.racket-lang.org/sicp-manual/index.html#%28part....

I was fortunate enough to encounter this book in a first-year programming course (Informatik, RWTH Aachen). The years before, they had used Modula-3 and in the years afterwards they switched to Java. While it certainly changed my life - first encounter with functional programming - and I will always appreciate it, it is now 23 years later and I think it is time to acknowledge some shortcomings. The thing that comes to my mind first is the lack of any discussion pertaining to coding against interfaces, with components (and their interfaces) evolving over time. Data abstraction gets discussed very early on, but the evolution of interfaces, its twin sister topic, does not get much air time. This is a pity since the goal of data abstraction (avoiding making assumptions on data representation) is pretty much the same, being able to change things later when the need arises.
- yomly 6y ago
  There is an exercise - 2.29 where you implement a tree-like structure of objects. Part d of the question is: " d. Suppose we change the representation of mobiles so that the constructors are (define (make-mobile left right) (cons left right)) (define (make-branch length structure) (cons length structure)) How much do you need to change your programs to convert to the new representation? " It may not be discussed in depth - I suspect they decided it was out of scope for the book, but they were definitely thinking about it...
- zelphirkalt 6y ago
  Actually I think interfaces are discussed in Chapter 2, when you write "packages". What bugged me more about that part is, that no code is given for running solutions to the exercises. I know there is a "framework" online somewhere, written in Racket, but it would be nice to have it in Scheme instead, in a very large part portable to many Scheme dialects.

  The thing that I always find interesting is a bunch of fearless 18 year olds just throw themselves at SICP. Feel the pain and some survive. Then some Ruby/PHP/JS developers who have 5-10 years of coding experience tip their head at the book and say it's too hard or "only for senior people". Unlike the gym, with intellectual pursuits the only thing you can injure when you fail is your ego. If you learn to let go you will realise how much you hamstring yourself with your own preconceptions in life.
  - andi999 6y ago
    "intellectual pursuits the only thing you can injure when you fail is your ego" well, construction, mechanical and electeical engineering might have a different opinion.
    - yomly 6y ago
      Sorry to clarify - the act of studying knowledge from a book, carries limited risk. What you do with that knowledge or practical learnings are out of scope here. :)
      - andi999 6y ago
        Well, you can also learn things the wrong way and this can give you the impression you are an expert while the opposite is true.
bajsejohannes 6y ago
I finally read SICP half way through my career, but at that point it was too much old news to keep me interested, even if I recognized that it was a really well written book. So I actually stopped half way. Does anyone know of a good summary or alternate text of all the knowledge in it?

My girlfriend has told me a couple times she wants to learn to program but this is the only intro book I own. I feel bad giving it to her because it just beats you with recursion right from the beginning (that isn’t to say it’s bad, I love it, that’s why I own a copy. I just feel like you’ll appreciate it most if you already know a little of some non functional language.) On the other hand she took it with us on a picnic the other day and didn’t seem to mind, in fact the simplicity of scheme’s syntax actually seemed to help a lot (she tried python once and there were too many different syntactic structures, but that was me giving her a tutorial rather than going through a book so maybe I’m just a bad teacher.) Does anyone have any suggestions?
- andi999 6y ago
  It depends on 'why' she wants to learn programming. What does she like and wants to be able to do herself? Like shiny gui, or webpages or own robot controller?
- nestorD 6y ago
  If she is mathematically minded I would not be afraid of letting her learn with it (note that the corresponding course taught by the original authors is also available in video somewhere on the web and that you can use the SICP dialect with Racket). Having discovered programming in a functional language (Ocaml) I found that it was people with prior experience in other languages (such as Python) who had the most trouble getting confortable with recurcion.
- sergiosgc 6y ago
  SICP was used as the reference book for the introductory course on programming on my degree. People with prior experience had the most trouble with recursion. Students with no programming experience whatsoever grasped the concept pretty easily. I would try it out. It might need some analytically wired thought process, but again that is true for any kind of programming paradigm.

    Recursion seems to be one of those inflection points that some people just can't get past.

  If i had to retain one thing from SICP, it would be this from the preface of the first edition: First, we want to establish the idea that a computer language is not just a way of getting a computer to perform operations but rather that it is a novel formal medium for expressing ideas about methodology. Thus, programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.

I keep meaning to work through this book, and keep getting distracted by other things. Maybe this will be the time I actually manage it! Probably not though...

If you only ever buy/read two computer science books, get your hands on Abelson/Sussman's SICP and Knuth's TAOCP. I could program before studying at uni, but thanks to our two-term course Algortmics I+II at FAU Erlangen (part I based on SICP), it seems a fog that I wasn't even aware of cleared.
- stormdennis 6y ago
  TAOCP is nearly ten thousand pages spread over four volumes! That's not one book.
- mesaframe 6y ago
  Have you read TAOCP?
  - Jtsummers 6y ago
    I'm not GP, but I read and worked through almost the entirety of Volume 1. I found it both approachable and enlightening. I have read (but not worked through) large chunks of Volumes 2 and 3, I have not purchased a copy of Volume 4 yet. Volume 1 really works well if you also work through Concrete Mathematics (my professor and I started on Volume 1, diverted to CM, then back to Volume 1). CM provides enough additional math to get through chapter 1, where I was having a bit of trouble on some of the math heavy portions.
    - mesaframe 6y ago
      I want to work through the book I can barely find time for that.
      - Jtsummers 6y ago
        Fair enough, I don't have the time anymore myself. College and my mid-20s were the best time to do all of those things. Now that I'm approaching 40 I have very little time and have to be more selective in how much time I dedicate to these kinds of resources. I actually started working through TAOCP one summer during a very boring sys admin job. I couldn't actually change the system to improve it, just complete whatever tasks were given to me and help customers. Maybe 1-3 hours a day of actual work effort. And in the pre-smart phone days, a book was easy to work through without distractions until the next ring of a phone call or ding of an email.
