On The Subject of SICP

Would you think SICP is a good book for beginners?

I'm talking about a 14 year old cousin that knows nothing aside from HTML and bash scripting, and is very willing to jump into computer science. The thing is, I read SICP, introduction to algorithms, and K&R when I was in undergrad and already had 2 years of Comp Sci from high school under my belt. This guy is a complete newbie.

So, yeah, is SICP too hard for a guy like this or is it a good head-start?

Only one way to find out OP

Put your cousin on the path to satori wizardom

Its not your cousin its you. Your 14 fag0t

Anon speaks the truth.

SICP is a decent beginners text OP, but not for a 14 year old. I doubt you're going to find anything appropriate for that age group
