SICP 1.1

All the attendees were already a fairly experienced programmers, so in the early chapters Sussman and Abelson's more philosophical sections caught our attention more than the practical parts, and our conversations tended heavily in that direction. Anything not captured in the weekly recap messages has disappeared into the ephemeral abyss.

weekly recap message

Hi all,

Tonight we covered chapter 1.1 and some small bits of 1.2. For next week we'll be reading 1.2 and doing all of the exercises. We'll discuss the chapter and the work and have several short presentations on SICP-related topics next Friday.

I'll be setting up a github account to compliment this community page. I'll post details here once that's up (likely late next Friday afternoon). In the meantime, post any homework questions in the SICP Chapters category here.

Happy Thanksgiving! See you next week!
