Would it be possible to also do the python version? about sicp-pdf HOT 2 CLOSED

In fact, there are already pdf versions of chapters 1 and 2:
http://wla.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/fa11/lectures/functions.pdf
http://wla.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/fa11/lectures/objects.pdf
Maybe the author still has pdf-s of chapters 3 and 4 somewhere?

More recent installments of CS61A are based on John DeNero's http://composingprograms.com/. It is an excellent interactive book that lets you execute python code step-by-step and see the call stack and environment. The stepper works in offline mode, too. Also, there are videos embedded in the text. Converting the book to pdf would lose the dynamic features.

I feel that the pdf format is too inflexible for mobile reading. Although one can control typography and layout very precisely, it needs to be re-typeset for a range of screen sizes. It took several months to get the first pdf version to a decent shape.

Have fun studying SICP!

Thanks for the reply!

I see. I will take a look at the first two chapters and then the interactive site. Thanks again for putting together this book!
