more examples on lamba

[David Bear]

I've been going through David Mertz's python book and he is heavy in to
lamba's and higher order functions. This is all very new to me.

Can anyone point me to more web stuff that describes more deeply lamba's and
making high order functions -- functional programming styles.

Coming from BASIC and Pascal, these are constructions that never entered
into youthfull learning;-)

I suggest Abelson and Sussman's book Structure and Interpretation of
Computer Programs. The text is online here:

This is a full length textbook but if you get all the way through it
you'll really understand some stuff.
