CS 61A The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Instructor Brian Harvey
Spring 2008
Introduction to programming and computer science. This course exposes students to techniques of abstraction at several levels: (a) within a programming language, using higher-order functions, manifest types, data-directed programming, and message-passing; (b) between programming languages, using functional and rule-based languages as examples. It also relates these techniques to the practical problems of implementation of languages and algorithms on a von Neumann machine. There are several significant programming projects, programmed in a dialect of the LISP language.
To everyone saying about this not being shell programming... you're right, but these are all the sorts of things you'd need to learn if you were creating the actual shell itself!

This would be really helpful if I wasn't so peeved by the incessant "Uhm"s.

BTW 8:33 of the second video he starts talking about the shell programming in a spell checking example. What he is really talking about here is stream programming, he talks about lisp to represent infinite lists which are like piped input in a unix environment.. So you could use lisp to do shell programming on streams of data, but it is a bit of a stretch of the imagination to ask why I'd want to use lisp. Maybe just to seem clever.. For this I'd rather use perl.. Or how about php-cli!!Ha!

yeah I was thinking the same thing.. Shell programming?

i never thought lisp is considered "shell programming"

The simplistic methods shown in most all of his videos can be used for structure in an actual learning search engine. Interesting.
