@gosha @neauoire SICP is the most significant of these texts, and you should not only read it but also — crucially — do the exercises. The patterns you learn in doing this will come up repeatedly for as long as you continue to make software.

@jack @neauoire That's a strong endorsement! Yes, I think it's pretty much pointless to read this kind of book without doing the exercises. I shall prioritise SICP then!

@gosha @jack @neauoire When I read it years ago, I did not do the exercises and my understanding faltered at the end. 😥
