The large files are a bit much to download but I am grabbing the divx
versions.   Quality is barely there, but readable.

I remember hearing about SICP from Jon King a couple of years ago.  I just
received the message below on the local Ruby users group.  It mentions
that there are video lectures available.  I went to the web page...

http://swiss.csail.mit.edu/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/

...and it looks like they are about 23 MB per minute (averaging about 1.5
GB for about 1 hour), so the video quality is probably very high.

1. Are there any functional language user groups in town?

2. If so, or if not, is anyone interested in working through SICP [1], and
watching the video lectures [2]?

The word is that SICP will teach you functional programming, improve your
code in any language, provide true CS enlightenment, make you rich,
improve your looks, keep your children healthy, etc. et al. See [1] for
recommendations. I've worked through the first few sections and found it
great so far.

I think it would be fun to watch one lecture a week, discuss, and work
through the relevant sections of the book (online and unreadable for free
[3], or overpriced on paper [4]).

Anyone interested?
