Oh wow. I love SICP. I still pick it up every now and then—just for the poetry.

The intro CS course I had taught from SICP (but the course was python, & scheme, & sql). I wasn’t so interested. I didn’t read or see the book until months after the course ended, but by then I was hooked.

I’ve never heard of HTDP, I can’t wait to read it.

When I was self-teaching, I found SICP a bit hard to really get into, luckily someone in comp.lang.lisp recommended HtDP, and I was golden, going to SICP after HtDP was a lot easier.
