Join us as we delve into the classic textbook, "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" (SICP), exploring its key concepts and timeless principles. From abstraction and recursion to metacircular evaluators and logic programming, we unpack the ideas that have shaped generations of programmers. We’ll discuss how these ideas are still relevant today, drawing on concrete examples and explanations from the text and our own exploration. We will be referencing different concepts in the text, including Lisp as a language for describing processes, data abstraction, generic operations, message passing, stream processing and the implementation of evaluators, to fully understand this foundational text.
