Readings for Learning Scheme

Readings for Beginning Programmers

There are a wealth of excellent books on this subject. At ISU we used the following in the Scheme version of Com S 227.

• George Springer and Daniel P. Friedman. Scheme and the Art of Programming. McGraw-Hill, New York, NY, 1989.

• Michael Eisenberg. Programming in Scheme. MIT Press, Cambridge, Mass., 1990.
• Iain Ferguson, Edward Martin, and Burt Kaufman. The Schemer's guide Schemers Inc., Fort Lauderdale, FL, 1990.

• Brian Harvey and Matthew Wright. Simply Scheme: Introducing Computer Science. MIT Press, Cambridge, Mass., 1994.

Readings for Non-beginners

Everyone who programs will enjoy the book by Abelson and Sussman. The Springer and Friedman book goes into more details about Scheme, and part 5 is the best introduction to continuations around.

• Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman, with Julie Sussman. Structure and interpretation of computer programs. Second edition, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1996.
• George Springer and Daniel P. Friedman. Scheme and the Art of Programming. McGraw-Hill, New York, NY, 1989.
