Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs Video Lectures (1986)

A collection of twenty classic video lectures on the 'Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs' (SICP) by Hal Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman, originally recorded in 1986, is available for free under a Creative Commons license.

These twenty video lectures by Hal Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman are a complete presentation of the course, given in July 1986 for Hewlett-Packard employees, and professionally produced by Hewlett-Packard Television. These videos are also available here under a Creative Commons license compatible with commercial use.

Note: These lectures follow the first edition (1985) of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. Many of the programs discussed were rewritten for the second edition (1996) of the book, and new material was added. These video lectures will still be useful for students using the second edition, since the overall themes of the course and order of presentation are unchanged.
