"Unusually good book" may be too humble to be correct. It is a truly excellent book.
Many higher order concepts eluded me for years (SICP was a good introduction, but this goes much further, as an intermediate level book), but this was very enlightening. I recommend it for anyone working in just about any language. I was able to apply the concepts in Perl and JavaScript quite readily. And, there are translation s of the examples to other languages on the web these days.
- vram22 12y ago>there are translation s of the examples to other languages on the web these days. Do you mean to other programming languages? (I already did see that there are translations of the book to other human languages).
- SwellJoe 12y agoYes, the examples (which are in Perl in the book) are available in other programming languages.
