I'm thrilled to announce that The Spritely Institute has published A Scheme Primer: https://spritely.institute/news/the-spritely-institute-publishes-a-scheme-primer.html https://spritely.institute/static/papers/scheme-primer.html Source: https://gitlab.com/spritely/scheme-primer and yes since the source is a .org file, there's a .info export: https://spritely.institute/static/papers/scheme-primer.info Since our core implementation of Spritely Goblins, and its associated whitepapers, use Guile Scheme (and Racket), we really needed a way for newcomers who *weren't* Schemers to understand the language. That was the first goal of this document, but it can really be read in two ways: - As a quick skim, it's a reasonable intro to "how to start programming with Scheme with no prior experience". Hey, tutorials are useful! - But also, in less than 30 pages we manage to compress a TON of computer science ideas from SICP, Little Schemer, etc in a way that I think is really, really approachable. But of course I'm biased. I'd like to know what you think! I've considered making a Guix package of the .info version. What do people think? Would that be useful? Happy scheming! - Christine
