6.01 Lecture Notes

Now, this is pretty interesting. Full lecture notes for the first few lectures of the SICP successor at MIT:
http://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.01/fall07/calendar/

The examples in http://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.01/fall07/lectures/lecture2.pdf  are delightfully straight from SICP chapter 1, but I think they made a mistake by using a language that doesn't natively support the popular `cudder' function. Observe:

def map(func, list):
    if list == []:
        return []
    else:
        return [func(list[0])] + map(func, list[1:])

http://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.01/fall07/lectures/lecture3.pdf thankfully still describes the basics of object systems using closures before introducing Python's classes.

Then comes http://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.01/fall07/lectures/lecture4.pdf, teaching difference equations. Yeah, fucking difference equations.

NO EXCEPTIONS

Interesting

That's grate.  But I don't see how this FIOC-based language is better than cudder-based Scheme.

FIOC == Forced Indentation Of Code?

It's interesting to learn about difference equations and how they are related to differential equations. Thanks.

I'd scribble you a note, but I'm all out of napkins.

wasn't the legendary course 6.001?

Yes, why?

i clicked that link and got a virus

You already had that virus. I know because I hacked into your computer to install it.

I sat in on my friend's CS lecture in Glasgow for the lulz, they're doing Python; lulz were indeed had.

believe ME MY WORDS   ARE ALL LIES   AND ARE THE   trendy latte faggots   who work shitty   jobs like night   shift copy editors.

Latte faggots who work   in a web   environment often prefix   their titles with.

The learning curve short   for the syntax   and libraries There   are compact languages   like Squeak but.
