I'm still of the opinion that one of the best computing books ever was the 'Functional Programming' of the early eighties. Had a page of numbers , which when fed into an simple interpreter, provided you with a lisp interpreter for running the examples in the book.One of the all-time great learn-to-program books, written by MIT legends for MIT undergrads (and anyone else -- they always made digital versions freely available), now fully interactive online. You don't even need to know that Scheme is the language, much less install and configure it; each page is transparently hooked up to a working Scheme interpreter behind the scenes. http://xuanji.appspot.com/isicp/index.html
