Scheme Documentation

There is a rich literature of good references on Scheme, including the following:

• Scheme home page

• Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP)

  This classic work is now available on the web in full text form. SICP is used at MIT to help introduce students to Computer Science; it is wonderful to that end, but may be overpowering to those that 'just want to get something done.'

• The Scheme Programming Language, 2nd Edition (Online copy of Dybvig's book)

  This excellent reference presents ANSI standard Scheme, including substantial examples.

• Scheme R5RS Specifications

• How To Design Programs

  This book, published by MIT Press, and available on the web, provides tutorial guidance on how to program, using the quite excellent DrScheme environment.

  This may be the most suitable book for Scheme newcomers to look to as it presents quite a number of examples of how to do useful things in Scheme .
