OMG Thank you to both of you! I've seen dozens of references to SICP in lists online, but I never knew there's video of the course, no-one mentioned that. Great stuff.
After watching the first 10 minutes of the first lecture, was so good I immediately got my super-non-techy housemate to watch it, after explaining how revered among programmers the book is. She said "Thank you for showing me that!" hehe.

Yeah, the lecturers are really good, and IIRC, the videos were professionally produced (HP paid for them). The book is written like course material for a maths class, more than a commercial programming book.
