Heh, I was about to write the same thing as Sanj--SICP was great and I'm happy I took a course on it (at Berkeley). Part of this is due to the fact that the professor that taught it was the best lecturer I've had so far, but mostly because the material was intereting.

I'm assuming your projects were basically the same as ours. Was project 3 about writing a text adventure game? If so, I find that funny: I thought that was the weakest part of the course and a complete waste of time; the Logo interpreter we did for project 4 was infinitely better in pretty much every way. Out of curiosity, when you read the book, did you cover all five chapters?



Yup it was the text adventure game, and yes I read the whole book. I remember finding the last parts to be the most amazing; I think they were about register machines.
