My experiments in learning to program using scheme.
As a long time dabbler in programming but never a real starter I have been inspired with reading the likes of Joel Spolsky talking about what really makes a programmer. Having grown up with the likes of basic and pascal then moved to perl and python I feel that I have missed out a little on what makes a real program.
So it's back to school for me and you if you want as I describe what I have learnt about scheme a LISP based language using the "How to Design Programms" course book.
