Obscurerichard: Added class summary page for SICP / Schemers study group

2012-07-15T17:55:06Z

Added class summary page for SICP / Schemers study group

New page

HacDC is hosting a biweekly study group dedicated to mastering the fabled computer science text, [http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs], by Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman, with Julie Sussman. This text is now available for free under a [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License]. We began in May, 2012 and plan to continue this session until we finish the book.

== Logistics ==

Anyone is welcome to attend, normally the meetings are held in person at the [http://www.hacdc.org/location/ HacDC space], in the classroom area, although if that is booked, we may meet in the sanctuary.

=== Mailing List ===

Students are encouraged to join the [https://groups.google.com/a/hacdc.org/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/sicp SICP mailing list] where class discussions take place between study groups.

=== Text ===

SICP comes in both print and electronic editons. Amazon sells a [http://www.amazon.com/Structure-Interpretation-Computer-Programs-Engineering/dp/0262510871 new softcover print editon] for about $33. The [http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html free online HTML text] from MIT is the most complete and functional electronic version, but there's an [https://github.com/ieure/sicp epub version] ([https://github.com/downloads/ieure/sicp/sicp.epub download]) suitable for ebook readers (Kindle, iPad, etc) available also.

=== Tools ===

Any fully functioning Scheme interpreter will work. Most people in the class are using [http://racket-lang.org/download/ DrRacket] due to its excellent interactive debugger and friendly beginner environment. It's also possible to use these tools:

* [http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/ MIT Scheme], the environment the text recommends.
* [http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ GNU Guile] (built into most Linux distributions, try "sudo apt-get guile" or "sudo yum install guile")
* [http://slidetocode.com/ Lisping], a radical new iPad Scheme and Clojure programming environment
