Through our seminars covering Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by Abelson, Sussman, and Sussman (SICP), we will get to know the LISP programming language, and through it we will explore various software development principles and abstraction tools that will prove useful when building any project written in any language.
The text is available for free. You can view the HTML version of it here. Ebook versions maintained by third parties available here.
We have detailed instructions for setting up an SICP coding environment here
