This module introduces the structure and interpretation of computer programs. Java is introduced at the end of CS1101S to help bridge between Scheme and Java.
This module introduces the concepts of programming from a functional perspective, and is perceived as the first and foremost introductory course to computing. Topics covered include: recursion, procedural abstraction, data abstraction, algorithmic strategies, higher-order functions, state mutation, evaluation strategies, debugging and testing. Module activities include lectures, recitation, group

In the meantime, our textbook adaptation SICP JS is gaining traction, internationally: Yesterday, Tobias and I delivered a keynote at the Scheme 2020 workshop of ICFP 2020: https://icfp20.sigplan.org/details/scheme-2020-papers/8/SICP-JS-Ketchup-on-Caviar-
with great interest from the audience.
SICP JS: Ketchup on Caviar? (Scheme 2020) - ICFP 2020 The Scheme and Functional Programming Workshop is a yearly meeting of programming language practitioners who share an aesthetic sense embodied by the Algorithmic Language Scheme: universality through minimalism, and flexibility through rigorous design.
