[REBOL] Re: Morphing (was: About CONTINUATIONS)

Hi, Chaz,
I don't know if it's still in print, but a *very* good introduction
to LISP, requiring only standard programming skills, is in
_Functional_Programming_Application_and_Implementation_
by Peter Henderson,
Prentice-Hall, 1980
ISBN: 0-13-331579-7
It introduces functional programming, contrasts it with imperative
programming, designs and implements LispKit LISP, and adds some
interesting features (e.g. lazy evaluation, nondeterminism...)
I'd recommend that one first, followed by SICP, of course.
_Structure_and_Interpretation_of_Computer_Programs_
Abelson, Sussman, Sussman
MIT Press, 1985
ISBN: 0-262-01077-1
or
McGraw-Hill
ISBN: 0-07-000-422-6
which should be on every programmer's bookshelf (well-thumbed with
lots of bookmarks sticking out of it... ;-)
