Vince rated it: 5 of 5 stars
Second half intro to lisp-like languages and intro to programming in general, especially recursion. Written in Q&A format. Workbook like, in that it was designed to be read in front of a computer, to run examples.

This was a nice book, I learned a lot of interesting things in it. It didn't have quite as many examples to work through as the little schemer, but there was a lot of good info in it.

I actually didn't read the last 1.5 chapters. The format is great for learning concepts but I find it tiresome to read and read about complicated structures built in ways I wouldn't have used.

Continues the Socratic dialog from The Little Schemer, walking you through some of the more difficult themes of Scheme programming. Recommended if you have a real taste for Scheme.
