Since you are already familiar with programming, I suggest the book Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programming. It's available for free online: https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/full-text/book/book.html With modern editing: http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/ It's available as a Texinfo manual which is packaged in Guix. Finally, the video recordings of the class are insightful and to the point: https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/full-text/book/book.html Cheers! =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAl5ju20ACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH8mWgf/RLsidL5ugAnVuijJo4bcciUMKvDzOE8HIaKXnlCLm10dV2cnc46Mh2Nw PHmLP6cLw0U4ZqdWeZrgsGJql6ZbDLm4BlUB1HMGuBndkQO852fvKWdZdfrlESbD dLXTkaiMFOtRxvEm/DSUcT+0D8jUNGbVuDFjQUBw3Au+EKQAJdvK2QUJJlJAccJw NgVnItCfIFsXWx9fzVmfjUZIZ5UpaQhzQlasH5MP0cyilkC6LQBr60Pp39ijCNz3 WJdbKNyYxo3Ztr9nTU8pyVojA4pOUxN6gYvTRWSfMOO2KBRd1qS33MRUBPyUIzlV FBk1HXI6gqFv9XV1qW4JhfGn1MYibw== =4cxq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
