SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs) is a textbook published in 1985 about general programming concepts (using a dialect of the Lisp programming language known as Scheme). It was written by two Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors (Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman, with Julie Sussman) and 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.
