All these are great resources. I am going through this process right now. So far I am just using the book with Racket and occasionally watch Prof. Harvey's lectures. I also recommend reading "The little Schemer". It had a great influence in me and I really learnt how to think in terms of recursion from that book.

One suggestion I have is to never skip any of exercises. They extend the discussions and are often very thought provoking.

If there are like minded people in your city, it is a good idea to meet regularly and discuss solutions after working through them.



Never say never. From the last exercise in ch 4: "This problem is open-ended. A good answer is probably worth a Ph.D."

I admit that I indeed skipped over that one.


:-) I am yet to reach chapter 4.
