Scheme Programming Reference

[Ralph Ferris <ralph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Looking over the various DSSSL sites, I haven't come across any references
to a readily available introduction to Scheme programming. As it happens, a
document of this type exists: The Scheme programming language, by Ken
Dickey, ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/scheme-repository/doc/pubs/intro.txt

Interestingly enough, the author states: "Scheme is a small, exceptionally
clean language which is, very importantly, fun to use." This is in contrast
to many descriptions of DSSSL, which frequently seem to start out by saying
"DSSSL style sheets are based on Scheme, this dialect of Lisp, and you're
really going to be confused ..." Nothing like encouraging folks at the outset.


Best regards,
