Programming in Scheme

With this book you can learn to write good programs that do interesting things right off the bat, writes software developer Julie Sussman. This is the introductory [programming] text that I wish I had had Scheme - a simple, learnable dialect of LISP has emerged as a popular educational language as well as a serious tool for producing applications and system software. Programming in Scheme provides an accessible introduction to Scheme that assumes no previous programming experience and covers all the basics of the language and many advanced topics as well. It gets readers on the machine early, teaches language structure and programming technique through extended examples an exercises, and emphasizes debugging throughout. Chapters are organized as a ...
