Ask HN: Anyone want to go through SICP with me? I'm in Seattle

Hi everyone,

I'm a mid-20s software engineer living in Seattle and I'm working on improving my computer science fundamentals beyond what I got in/from school.

After talking to some friends and co-workers and doing research on the internet I decided to go through Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. I've been making decent progress but would like to set up a group for any other like minded people to go through the book with me.

I'm pretty flexible - thinking the pace should be a chapter a month? (if that's too fast or slow for you I'll switch it up) I just want to go over the information with other people and have resources in case I can't figure out an exercise or part of the book.

My email should be in my profile, or post here. I'll be checking back frequently.

Also if anyone who has worked through SICP has any advice any wants to share I'm happy to listen or if you want to go through the book again for a refresher (or because you enjoyed it a lot) join up!

Thanks!

I’m trying to work through the book as well! I’ve found a great IRC community over on the Freenode server. The channel is #symbo1ics. It’s been a sweet place for motivation so far. I’m sure you would be welcomed with open arms! Good luck, and hope to see you there!
