Help me /prog/, I'm confused. There are two editions of SICP?
Is http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ Edition 1 or 2?

LOL SICP

The book is just that, a big bore. It's too confusing for beginners, and it'll put to sleep anyone who knows a little somthing about computer science. I would agree that some of the general topics presented are important, but how they are presented is a disgrace to computer science. Instead of talking about relevant ideas in compiler and language design, authors try to implement a scheme interpreter in scheme. The material was completely divorced from the real world. I showed it to my buddy, doing a Ph.D. in compiler design, and he laughed long and hard at the whole chapter 4, which also manages to completely mispresent databases and query languages. Being a grad student in computer engineering, I found something to scoff at in chapter 5 & 3, where they give a backwards presentation of assemblers, digital circuits, and circuit simulators.

Come to think of it, the only worthwhile material was in chapter 2 & some of chapter 3, but that was on data structures, and Cormen's "Algorithms" is infinitely better.

My impression is, and others have suggested, that the goal of this book was self gratification for the authors. They wanted to have a book with all kinds of stuff in there, that would be used by copycat instructors all over the world to confuse beginners and bore knowledgeable students. This book would get the prize for the most obfuscated computer science book.
