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, …

The Software Craftsmanship Manifesto describes the movement as follows: As aspiring Software Cr …
