: Discusses how to combine simple data into complex "compound data" structures while maintaining clear boundaries through data abstraction.
: Examines different ways to model complex systems, introducing the concepts of local state, objects, and the challenges of dealing with "time" in computational models (e.g., concurrency and stream processing). Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
: Moves down to a lower level, describing how high-level languages are implemented on hardware-like register machines, covering compilation and memory management. : Discusses how to combine simple data into
The book is organized into five major sections that progress from basic elements to the building of entire computing systems: introducing the concepts of local state
