▲'''''Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs''''' ('''''SICP''''') is a textbook published in [[1985]] about general [[computer programming]] concepts from [[MIT press]] written by [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] professors [[Harold Abelson]] and [[Gerald Jay Sussman]], with [[Julie Sussman]]. It has been used as the textbook for an introductory course in computer programming for students of [[computer science]] at MIT and other schools. Now in its second edition (ISBN 0-262-51087-1), it is widely considered a classic. It is also known as the [[Wizard Book]] (due to the wizard on the cover), and less commonly, the [[Purple Book]].
Using a dialect of the [[Lisp programming language]] known as [[Scheme programming language|Scheme]], the book explains core computer science concepts, including [[abstraction]], [[recursion]], [[interpreter]]s and [[metalinguistic abstraction]]. By encouraging students to regard themselves as language designers instead of language users, the textbook offers a unique perspective on solving computational problems.
