I would advise anyone who is already at the point of considering reading SICP (so probably some familiarity with programming) to skip How to Design Programs. But why is the 1st edition better?There's a REALLY cool chapter in the first edition, Chapter 12 ("Compiler Derivation") about using continuation-passing style to incrementally convert an interpreter to a (bytecode) compiler. And if the answer is 'Little Schemer' where does 'Seasoned Schemer' fit in (before or after SICP)?If you're completely new, I would say Little Schemer. I started it recently and many of the exercises are tough.Nice amalgamation of resources for SCIP related stuff. At least that's the treatment popular links get.I had no problems doing SICP. I didn't learn much from it, and I was disappointed with the amount of code in it that was non-standard stuff created by the authors purely for pedagogical purposes. The audio is nice to listen to with the slides.I'd like to add that there are also people working through SICP on Curious Reef (my social learning website): The OCW page for 6.001/SICP has complete lecture notes, which are useful supplements to the book, especially with additional diagrams: There is also a public tutor [1] based on the course - basically a set of slides and audio (I think taken from an actual course) plus sets of questions to test your understanding of the material. all?) At this point, you will certainly be able to understand the more subtle and/or complex points that they make.Overall, this is a big commitment of time, but it will certainly shake you out of any rut that your current languages have put you in regarding how to solve problems with computers.You qualified your inference with a conditional (to be fair); but I still find the implication irritating.I don't know about the other lectures listed but the 1986 lectures are worth a watch, they are quite motivating since both authors exhibit an infectious enthusiasm.I've read the authors' presentations and thinking behind the program's design and I was impressed, but I think the end product they came up with just lacks anything special to recommend it. The first question asks "Is it true that this is an atom? You won't be able to read it like you read a novel, but I'd advise diving right into SICP and only using these additional materials if you really get stuck. This course uses SICP as a text book, but takes a less mathematical approach. A good answer is probably worth a Ph.D."This is obviously not a universal formula, but I started out with "Practical Common LISP"; and then went on to SICP, translating the Scheme code into CL code as I went along. I don't want to learn computer science or programming just to get a job , I already have one :) Also I don't care if it takes a few years to complete even the first 5 steps. Too bad.BTW, Does anyone know if someone has worked out the kinks so that you can use SICP examples directly in DrScheme/Racket to make the transition from HTDP to SICP easier for students? Unfortunately, these videos are Real Player, so you may have difficulty playing them. I have to add another voice saying that it's really not that hard. Just stick with it and you'll realize that you actually understand it.I agree it isn't hard but I think that if you read the companion texts and read the "prerequisites" you will internalize the lessons better.I found that reading SCIP while stoned helps understanding. The writing is extremely clear and it really builds up the material at a good (not too fast, or too slow) pace. It's interactive though - so you can submit your answers in scheme and they're tested on the server. I explained my experience in hopes of saving someone else from wasting time.Other potential prerequisites to SICP, all of which use Scheme: The Little Schemer (It was cut from later editions, for some reason. For example understanding the O(log n) algorithm for fibonacci, the square root algorithm, series, exponentiation algorithm, newton's method, etc (especially since I had no idea what a derivative or exponentiation was). I haven't done SICP so I don't know what a good prereq would be, but I remember The Little Schemer being entertaining and covering the same sort of ground as HTDP at a better pace. the little schemer vs sicp (3) I just cracked open The Little Schemer, and I feel like I'm missing something. SICP is not the place to learn basic mathematics, and it seems to me that it would be distracting from their message.This is probably a good list but I really hope no one is intimidated and decides not to read SICP at all.
