Y-you j-just rustled my jimmies Dx

I'm going to read this as my first programming book. Am I doing it right? I just graduated high school and am mediocre at math. Plz respond
Connor King
It's kind of like the Atlas Shrugged of CS, so if you want to reject altruistic ideologies and selfishly enjoy programming because you are worthy of it then go for it.
Jordan Wood
What the fuck is up with this analogy
Gavin Collins
Elaborate?
I think you are saying that it's worth reading for enjoying programming. My concern is, that I want to use my time in the most efficient way possible. Are there some other books that would beat SICP for building a strong foundation in programming, then?

Programming for dummies, unironically.

You're fucking a meme user.

10 times a day for years and still no answer kek

No. It's a joke, unless you already know a shit load of math.

If you want to get anywhere with programming, don't ask Sup Forums for advice, becuase most of the Sup Forums can't program at all
Joseph Ross
No. It's poorly organized and most of it's prestige comes from the fact that it was used by MIT for years.
You're better off learning the basics of a language first, then moving onto assembly, then algorithms.
"Programming from the ground up" is a better starting point.

I'd also add CTM to mix as a good second book to read.

Not OP but I'm on chapter 3. It's just presenting concepts I'd see elsewhere. I have seen nothing profound yet. The next section is just circuits and then streams.
What happens in chapters 4 and 5? Do they justify the hype?
I went through most of MIT's EdX intro to CS and programming course a few years ago and was very impressed. It was a simple and concise intro that is useful to everyone.

The Metacircular Evaluater is pretty nice.
