It actually uses a variation of LISP. I know old MIT college courses in Computer Science used to teach it.

The book, "How to Design Programs," is based on a variation of LISP, which I know used to be taught in college computer science courses.

I have zero programming experience, but I want to learn—not for a job, just to truly understand it.

A lot of modern advice says to start with Python because it’s easier or faster, but I’m not looking for shortcuts.

I want to go old-school. This book teaches programming with a 1990s-style approach. It may not use the latest tools, but I’ve heard it actually teaches how to think like a programmer and builds real logic skills.

Once I finish it, I plan to take the University of Helsinki’s Java MOOC. Again, sticking to fundamentals and learning the core ideas, not just trendy frameworks.

For context, I’m not naturally a math person either—I’m teaching myself beginning college algebra right now. That’s less about going old-school and more because I never had a college education, so I’m starting from scratch across the board.

So, does this sound like a solid strategy? My goal isn’t a career—just a deep, strong foundation to see if I can really do this.

What do you all think?

The Green party is the #4 largest party with 246,994 members but Dr Jill Stein got 3 votes PER Green party member for 813,066 Stein votes in 2024.

Contrast this with other parties (like the Libertarians) who did not even turn out ONE vote per member.

This is why the Green party is the party MOST WORTH SUPPORTING.

No party (not even Democrats) win 3 votes to every member that they have.

We have the party.

We have the platform.

We have the bylaws.

We have the website.

But we need more than 246,994 members.

Your votes are tripled when you tell your friends & family WHY you voted Green.
