Subject: [fpug-c] SICP Lectures
To: damodaran.balaji at gmail.com
Has anybody out in the group gone through the book and/or video lecture series?
Here's the link for those who are new to SICP:
http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/
The book is a free download in pdf form.
I had this idea of screening the lecture videos in a projector?and
solving the coding exercises in a group. Sort of a hackathon.
The code is in Scheme - which is an ancestor of clojure & common lisp.
So any of these 3 languages should be straightforward. Hacking on any
other language is also welcome. Infact, it'd be interesting to compare
solutions from different languages.
If we have enough people showing interest in this, then we can meet
every 2 weeks or so to learn SICP. Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks,
Balaji
