Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs book

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) is a seminal computer science textbook authored by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professors Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman, with contributions from Julie Sussman. First published in 1984, the book has undergone several editions, with the most recent being adapted for JavaScript in 2022. SICP introduces fundamental programming concepts such as recursion, abstraction, modularity, and language design through the use of the Scheme programming language. The text has been influential in shaping computer science curricula worldwide and was used as the textbook for MIT's introductory programming course from 1984 to 2007. The JavaScript edition, released in 2022, updates the content to reflect modern programming practices and is available in both paperback and eBook formats.
