Thank you for sharing these valuable resources. I am already on to the OCW Python course and SICP textbook. How did you start on these resources? Did you start reading them because you needed them in your current project Or did you read them because you thought they will be useful for your project?

I read SICP a long while back, so the video lecture was a useful review. For the balance, I managed to get a working version of my project pretty quickly when the Python version of OpenSCAD first became available: https://pythonscad.org/ https://pythonscad.org/ but I quickly hit a plateau and was having trouble adding features and improving it, so I began researching and trying to learn what I needed for: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview Been collecting lists of the books I've been using at: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/21394355-william-adams?ref=nav_mybooks&shelf=cnc https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/21394355-william-adams... https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/21394355-william-adams?ref=nav_mybooks&shelf=programming https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/21394355-william-adams... I will note that my preference (as a person coming at this from (La)TeX is for Literate Programming: http://literateprogramming.com/ http://literateprogramming.com/ so have also put together: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/21394355-william-adams?ref=nav_mybooks&shelf=literateprograms https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/21394355-william-adams...

Also, install chicken as the scheme interpreter, but do the classical SICP. After you got it installed, run: chicken-install srfi-203 chicken-install srfi-216 then, edit a text file called ~/.csirc with the contents: (import scheme) (import (srfi 203)) (import (srfi 216))
