Programming Forum and web based access to our favorite programming groups.I am gathering scheme and lisp resources, with the goal of making them into a knoppix CD that contains everything needed to start developing in either language. I would like to present books and software that would serve a diverse class of needs, from people who wish to get familiar with programming in general to those who want to write use-once URLs . Of course, I should spend a few years familiarizing myself with each of the dialects and their associated environments, but I don't have that kind of time, so I would like to solicit recommendations from the community. I am aware of several scheme implementations (PLT, guile, Bigloo, Chez, MIT, scheme48, Stalin, Gambit, Larceny, kawa etc.), but I'm sure I've missed a lot. software: small, embeddable: Tinyscheme, SIOD, ? educational: PLT, ? production-quality, deployable: MzScheme, stalin, chez, scheme48, ? Best-of-breed scheme web server: ? (hopefully smaller than apache) scripting environment: scsh, ? something that plays nicely with java: jscheme, kawa, ? other software I have not even thought of: ? book wish list: (obviously, I will go ask the authors first, and I doubt some of these guys will let me distribute their book) HTDP SICP LISP Scheme in Fixnum days R5RS? this is...stable, and tiny, so I lose nothing by including it SRFIs? I am fairly space-constrained, so I can't just include every implementation out there. I have some experience on PLT 208, but almost none on any of the others outside of Tinyscheme. Does anyone on the list have scheme/lisp book or software recommendations? In addition, at the risk of inciting flamewars, what advice do people have on the various implementations/books I'm considering?
