There is no sequel to SICP. It's just a course, not a book. There was already sort of a sequel (http://mitpress.mit.edu/SICM/), but it's far from new.



Presumably, fiaz is referring to SICP the class (6.001 -> http://sicp.csail.mit.edu/Fall-2007/) rather than the book.

The posted course site is not up to date, because as far as I know 6.001 is no longer being taught at MIT. (http://www.eecs.mit.edu/ug/newcurriculum/index.html)


I thought I was being clever but in the end I've ended up confusing people. I think you can take it as you want to.

By using the word "sequel" in the title, I was implying that there is perhaps some hope for future CS students to be inspired by the beauty that was in the SICP class and book. I took a class that was based on the book at the University of Minnesota and it still stands in my memory as one of the best classes in CS that I have ever taken.

My love for the class and book is so deep that sometimes I'll flip through the three copies I have (one first edition, and two distinctly different printings of the second edition) just to remind me of how beautiful hacking can be...


Yup, SICP was a course before it was a book.
