[RLUG] MIT open courseware

[n a]

MIT is openscourcing its course materials

  http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html

I highly recommend Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by 
Harold Abelson and Gerald Sussman... (and not just because Gerald Sussman 
invented Scheme with Guy Steele)

  http://swiss.csail.mit.edu/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/

I finished downloading all 30+ gigs of the SICP lectures by Abelson, I'm 
probubly going to compress them to .mov and put them on a DVD with the 
textbook in html format if anyone would like a copy I can bring it to the 
rlug party in december
