Lecture 1A: Overview and Introduction to Lisp
MIT OpenCourseWare · 10 recommenders · 10 months
The first lecture of MIT's 6.001 (SICP) with Abelson and Sussman, giving an overview of the course and an introduction to Lisp. It argues that computer science is about managing complexity and abstraction, not computers.
Why Hacker News readers recommend it: HN people recommend the SICP lectures as a deeper, livelier route into the book and a formative course even for seasoned programmers.
