The Language of Minimal Scheme

Learning a human language requires learning a new set of spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and idioms. The same is true of a computer language like Scheme.

• Spelling
• Grammar
• Vocabulary
• Idioms

In addition, here's the documentation for the tiles teachpack. To install it, follow these directions:

1. Start up DrScheme (version 300 or higher).
2. From the "File" menu, choose "Install .plt file...".
3. Make sure the "Web" tab is selected, not the "File" tab.
4. Type in the URL http://home.adelphi.edu/sbloch/class/171/tiles.plt and click "OK".
5. You should see a series of messages, ending with "Done setting up." If you get this far, the software is installed on your computer.
6. If you're using one of the computers in an on-campus lab, you may need to do this again every time somebody turns off the computer. If you're using your own computer, you should never have to do it again (unless you install a newer version of DrScheme).
