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 series of groups, or 'layers,' each of which advances the reader to a new level in Scheme. The first layer (chapters 27) introduces Scheme procedures how to define, use, and debug them. The second layer (chapters 810) discusses lists and subprocedures. The third layer (chapters 1115) provides a more elaborate and powerful model of the Scheme language. These last chapters also explore the notion of firstclass procedure objects, one of the most fascinating ideas in computer science. Appendixes contain an Edwin minimanual, answers to selected exercises, references and bibliography.Michael Eisenberg is a Ph.D candidate in Computer Science at MIT.
