On self study plans, again

Referring to my previous post, I have now, in the past few days, advanced deep into SICP's interpreter chapter (ch 4). Today I began reading the DIY Scheme interpreter tutorial previously mentioned. I managed to read the first five chapters, and I'm very satisfied so far. The tutorial does not try to teach elementary functional programming concepts, but maintains its scope by just showing how to write real software in Haskell.

Nowadays I'm rather busy writing my LLVM thesis and thus I have not yet got an opportunity to start reading RWH, a promise made a few posts ago.

Self study plans

Self studying is always fun. Currently, I'm learning Haskell by reading Yaht and doing all the exercises in it. Almost done. In paraller, I'm reading through SICP which Santa brought kindly to me. The idea is to kill two birds with one stone (that's a terrible, violent idiom!) by writing a Scheme interpreter in Haskell. There is a promising tutorial to do just that in Wikibooks. After Yaht is done and the interpreter chapter been read in SICP, I plan to start the interpreter project.

And the bad news: the taocp project is currently halted :(
