The Scheme Programming Language

“Kent Dybvig’s The Scheme Programming Language is to Scheme what Kernighan and Ritchie’s The C Programming Language is to C. Kent’s book is the book for either the novice or serious Scheme programmer. Its style, wit, and organization has reached a new high with the publication of the fourth edition.”–Daniel P. Friedman, Department of Computer Science, Indiana University “This fourth edition builds on the strengths of the previous editions and provides a comprehensive, no-nonsense introduction to the Scheme programming language in its latest form. The combination of solidity and finesse displayed in this book makes it a reference text for educated computer scientists. The accompanying software, Petite Chez Scheme, makes it the ideal starting point for any programmer who wants to extend his or her repertoire with Scheme.” –Olivier Danvy, Aarhus University, Denmark, co-Editor-in-Chief of Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation – Olivier Danvy “Eric Raymond once wrote that learning Lisp makes one a better programmer for the rest of one’s days. Scheme is the best dialect of Lisp to learn for this purpose, and Kent Dybvig’s book provides a comprehensive and beautiful introduction to learning Scheme and becoming a better programmer.” Olivier Danvy , Aarhus University, Denmark, co-Editor-in-Chief of Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation

R. Kent Dybvig is Professor of Computer Science at Indiana University and principal developer of Chez Scheme.
