Reading this brings back fond memories of taking CS61a with prof Brian Harvey at UC Berkeley some 25 years ago. Same book, same level of mind=blown, and very similar instruction style. we spent a semester instead of a week and if memory serves tuition was about the same, but they threw in some English and history courses as well :-)

Same. For me it was 15 years ago, but was with Prof. Brian Harvey in Pimentel hall with the rotating stage.

Nice memories.

I fell in love with scheme eventually as it was such a simple syntax. Getting used to parentheses did take some time though.
