Scheme Programming Language

The Schematics Scheme Cookbook is a collaborative effort to produce documentation and recipes for using Scheme for common tasks.

This book is for people who are interested in how Scheme works, or people who are interested in Scheme in terms of programming language design - as well as people who are just interested in using Scheme.

This book is a straightforward, no-nonsense introduction to Scheme, and in its second edition brings the material up to date with respect to the ANSI standard. It covers the properties and features of Scheme; Scheme programming for the novice and advanced Scheme programmer; and Scheme's procedures and syntactic forms.

Scheme is a general-purpose programming language, descended from Algol and Lisp, widely used in computing education and research and a broad range of industrial applications. This thoroughly updated edition of The Scheme Programming Language provides an introduction to Scheme and a definitive reference for standard Scheme, presented in a clear and concise manner. Written for professionals and students with some prior programming experience, it begins by leading the programmer gently through the basics of Scheme and continues with an introduction to some of the more advanced features of the language.

This text covers the basics of programming and data structures, and gives first-time computer science students the opportunity to not only write programs, but to prove theorems and analyze algorithms as well.

This book works hard to make the somewhat tricky ideas of Scheme accessible. This tutorial stresses small sections on key language features, from basic functions, variables, and onward to recursion and other functional programming concepts. While languages like C++ and Java use objects to model data, Scheme programmers break a problem down into functions. The art--and elegance--of problem solving in Scheme comes from applying recursion and other design concepts.
