Written by Michael Eisenberg and edited by Harold Abelson — both affiliated with MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science — this text instructs readers in the fundamentals of the Scheme programming language, a dialect of Lisp celebrated for its minimalist syntax and powerful abstractions, guiding them from foundational concepts through to sophisticated recursive and higher-order programming techniques.\n\nAnchored in the MIT tradition of computer science education, the book presents programming not merely as a technical skill but as a discipline of structured thought, reflecting the same pedagogical philosophy that informed landmark texts to emerge from that institution. Eisenberg's clear, methodical prose, complemented by Abelson's editorial rigour and a foreword by Julie Sussman of Bolt Beranek \u0026amp; Newman, ensures that each concept builds purposefully upon the last — leaving the reader to wonder just how far the deceptive simplicity of Scheme can take them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269339390171,"sku":"2026200014911-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/263c2f46-589e-4355-926b-894def0714c7.png?v=1788998551","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014911-secondhand-programming-in-scheme","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
