Suggest resources for learning Scheme
resources, scheme
Solution
One online resource is Dorai Sitaram's "Teach Yourself Scheme in Fixnum Days". Unlike The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, it's pretty focused on teaching the Scheme language instead of using the Scheme language as a vehicle for teaching you a lot of other things.
Problem
I'll be starting a new job soon where Scheme is heavily used. I currently do not know Scheme, but my employer assures me that is not a problem. Regardless I'd like to hit the ground running and have a working knowledge of the language before my start date. So I'm looking for good resources from which to learn Scheme. I have had minimal exposure to functional languages. Really only a small chunk of a course devoted to Haskell. But I have a strong background in procedural and OO and procedural languages. Before it gets requested by a commenter, I am competent with the following languages: C, C++, C#, Java, Perl, Python, and Ruby.
