hai everyobody,

i am a newbie. i posted a topic 7 -1 0 days ago
and got responses too. from those responses i decided to learn scheme.

1.) may you tell me if SICP teaches scheme language ?

2.) if SICP does not teach scheme but abstractions only, then which
book for a person who is not a programmer but possesses a knowledge
scheme from HtDP ("how to design programs" @htdp.org) ?

3.) is there any book for scheme like "Peter Norvig's Paradigms of AI:
case studies in common lisp" . anything else like case studies or
something showing a walk-through of the real-life projects in scheme
(in other words important enough to spend money).

thanks in advance

"arnuld"

SICP teaches you how to program, and it uses the Scheme programming
language to do it. Here is a book more specifically about the Scheme
programming language:
