I decided to begin this programming thing.

MAKE ME A MASTER PROGRAMMER

I am not spoiled by anything yet, so I decided the following:

1) read K&R
2) read SICP as the snake ordered
3) shitpost a little
4) ?

So, what do I do after K&R and SICP? Haskell? Also, I like /jp/ and 2hu, so I like cute books rather than ugly books, okay?

they tricked you into reading SICP?
look at this idiot!

I ordered it used almost for free and will begin reading after I finish K&R. (I am on page 2, started today)
And the snake is not stupid, I trust the snake, the snake no lie!

Masters are individuals who have undergone study demonstrating a mastery or high-order overview of a specific field of study. (in this case, programming)

You are the cancer killing /jp/ and I'm not even using this expression ironically.

>Cute books.
Disregarding everything you said.

There is no teacher, no pupil; there is no leader; there is no guru; there is no Master, no Saviour.
You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the Master; you are the guru; you are the leader; you are everything.

Why did you buy SICP when you can read it online for free on MIT's website?

The thing you're missing out is "programming". You can read as much about programming as you want, but if you don't write a lot of programs you won't get very far.

Anyway, after K&R and SICP, you should spend a significant amount of time (two or three years at least) programming. Then it's time to start reading higher level books. The Dragon Book (compiler theory), Modern Operating Systems and Operating Systems: Design and Implementation (OS development), etc.

SICP IS CRAP.
WATCH YOUR PRIVILEGE, MALE PROGRAMMER.

Even the lowest ratings are mostly positive. That's impressive.

As the comments point out, a PDF of the scanned older edition would be better.
