Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation

This book has been in my radar for a long time.I’ve been meaning to dive a bit more into programming theory. It was either this book or Crafting Interpreters. In the end, I selected this book because it uses racket, which I want to code in and it seems to be presenting the material in an interesting way.

Spoils of the Egyptian

This is lecture series by Alexandar Stepanov. It also has an accompanying book called FROM MATHEMATICS TO GENERIC PROGRAMMING, which should give you an idea of what the lecture series are about. Alexandar’s enthusiasm is very insipiring the videos are actually quite entertaining with all the tangents and historical anecdotes.
