Looking for a good programming theory book to read for beginners.

Keep looking bub

Nice book. Explains many things about computing taking Lisp as a instructional language. Thought me a lot.

There's a lot of theory and books on different aspects:

If you want something on the theory of computation then get savage

Looks like exactly the kind of resource I'm looking for.

Thanks a bunch

I know of nothing better.

Scheme a shit. After reading SICP, jump into Common Lisp. I recommend Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation by Touretzky and then PAIP.

Reading the start it seems a bit over my head but I will read it slowly and make the most of it. It's been a long while since I've done maths.

Funny, right now I'm reading this book.
I'm at page 100, and it's really cool, I enjoy it very much even though I'm programming for years..

If you don't want to install Scheme you can just google "online scheme REPL" and do the examples online..
