The Scheme Programming Language 4th edition online
- seasoup 17y agoThanks for linking this, I was going through a previous edition. This has been an excellent resource for learning the Scheme language. It's been though learning scheme that I finally have come to understand recursion :) I have been reading a lot about its power and ability to develop quickly in this language and am looking forward to learning it better :)
- brent 17y agoThis book is a bit of a reference. If you want to learn from more entertaining books you should check out three books from another IU professor the Little Schemer, Seasoned Schemer, and when you want to move to logic programming the Reasoned Schemer.

- brent 17y agoFrom a two second skim of the preface my guess is that it covers Revised^6.
- halo 17y agoIt covers R6RS. Edit: More specifically, quoting from the book's site at MIT Press (http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=11984 http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&...): The fourth edition has been substantially revised and expanded to bring the content up to date with the current Scheme standard, the Revised6 Report on Scheme. All parts of the book were updated and three new chapters were added, covering the language's new library, exception handling, and record-definition features.
