If you are concerned with the core concepts of computing with Von Neumann-esque machines then SICP will certainly cover it. Will it make you better at your job? No. The only thing I walked away with after SICP in undergrad many years ago is how much utter bullshit and non-innovation there is tech with new hotness and frameworks all the time. They can all be reduced to SICP.
