CSE 413 Autumn 2008 -- Scheme

Notes

Based on notes by Alan Borning.

1. Scheme Basics
2. Recursion and Applicative Programming
3. Side effects in Scheme
4. Scoping
5. Garbage collection
6. define-struct in DrScheme

DrScheme Programming Environment

• DrScheme home
• Download page
• DrScheme documentation

Note: After you install DrScheme, be sure to change the Language option to Standard (R5RS).

Other Resources

• Web page for Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (includes the full text of the book online in html format!)
• R5RS Report. This is the full definition of "classic" Scheme, and is the version we will use. There is a just-ratified newer version (R6RS). The big difference between the two is that R6RS has a standardized module and library system, which is useful in constructing larger programs, but beyond what we need for CSE 413.

(If you find something else that you think others would be interested in, send mail to the instructor so it can be added.)
