SICP lectures - For people who want to learn lisp
- jkush 20y agoThanks!
- aston 20y agoGerry Sussman in a fez! Yes!
- dfranke 20y agoI think there are more efficient ways than SICP to learn Lisp if you're already a competent programmer. Scheme was my first functional language and I picked it up directly from R5RS. Then I moved over to CL by skimming ANSI Common Lisp and then reading On Lisp.
- vikram 20y agoI would agree with that if you wanted to pick up the syntax. The initial chapters of either R5RS and Ansi CL don't make it obvious how scheme/lisp are different from Algol, except the (()).
- gms 20y agoIt's worth pointing out that you won't get far without doing the exercises in the book too. In fact, I recommend working through the book and only watching a video lecture if you're unclear on the material.
