SICP is Obsolete today

Even Sussman himself agrees.

I talked to Professor Sussman on the phone ... He said that he'd actually been trying to have 6.001 replaced for the last ten years (and I read somewhere that Professor Abelson was behind the move too). Understanding the principles is not essential for an introduction to the subject matter anymore. He sees 6.001 as obsolete.

SICP = Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. This is the text that MIT uses in their intro programming class, in Scheme. By all accounts a great book for teaching the intro to CS.

I haven't read it, but I have watched the lectures <http://www.swiss.csail.mit.edu/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/>; that are online.
