We're a London study group on Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP). SICP is a classic programming text (even if you don't program in lisp) and the breadth and depth of the ideas in the book will certainly improve your craft. But don't take my word for it. Peter Norvig gave a review of it: ".... The book doesn't directly tell you how to design and write an object-oriented program using the subset of object-oriented principles that show up in the syntax of Java or C++. Rather, …

Welcome to the London Big-O Meetup! This is London's first meetup focusing on data structures and algorithms, regardless of programming language. I started this meetup for a few reasons. There's a general lack of similar events for people interested in the theory or maths behind the tools we use every day—dictionaries, sets, lists and regular expressions are things we all take for granted, but when you reach a large enough scale, the differences between implementations begin to show. It's import …
