One of the all-time great learn-to-program books, written by MIT

don't even need to know that Scheme is the language, much less install
and configure it; each page is transparently hooked up to a working
Scheme interpreter behind the scenes.

I'm still of the opinion that one of the best computing books ever was the 'Functional Programming' of the early eighties. Had a page of numbers , which when fed into an simple interpreter, provided you with a lisp interpreter for running the examples in the book.
