Is SICP worth reading? I keep hearing about it, but it seems like it's mostly a resource for learning lisp. Is that not the case?
the first chapter will introduce you some usage of lisp. Rest of the book will introduce some programming concept. 1. Recursive (tail recursive!) 2. Abstraction 3. State and Concurrency (Lisp has concurrency! what a surprise!) 4. Streams (if you have read this, reactive programming will be piece of cake for you) 5. REPL (read eval print loop) 6. Logic Programming 7. A simple virtual machine 8. and lots more........these are what I remember for now
It will improve your knowledge on programming. WAY BETTER THAN THOSE BOOKS JUST TELL YOU HOW TO USE A SPECIFIC LANGUAGE.
