Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - Video Lectures
Videos of 20 introduction lectures to the subject of Computer Science given in 1986 for Hewlett-Packard employees, converted in its entirety into Mpeg and DivX formats. The lecture uses Lisp dialect and syntax but it doesn't formally teach the language.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - Video Lectures
Harold Abelson wrote:I'd like to welcome you to the course of Computer Science. Actually it's a terrible way to start. Computer science is a terrible name for this business. Firstable, it's not a science. It might be engineering or might be art. I actually see the computer's so called science actually has a lot in common with magic. We will see that in this course. So it's not a science. It's also not really very much about computer. And it's not about computer in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerator. And biology is not really about microscope. And it's not about computer in the same sense that geometry is not really about using a surveillance instruments.

Gerald Jay Sussman (February 8, 1947) is the Panasonic Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He received his S.B. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics from MIT in 1968 and 1973 respectively. He has been involved in artificial intelligence research at MIT since 1964. His research has centered on understanding the problem-solving strategies used by scientists and engineers, with the goals of automating parts of the process and formalizing it to provide more effective methods of science and engineering education. Sussman has also worked in computer languages, in computer architecture and in VLSI design.
