As its title indicates, The Scheme Programming Language is to the ANSI Scheme programming language what The C Programming Language is to ANSI C. I leaned on Dybvig's reference heavily when I implemented an ANSI Scheme interpreter as part of an intermediate programming course in C++. It was indispensable, clarifying language subtleties for me repeatedly. When I later implemented basic neural networks in Scheme for another course, I once again found The Scheme Programming Language a tremendous resource. Any changes to ANSI Scheme that may have occurred since 1997 notwithstanding, I highly recommend this book.

Some great reference books do a good job of also being an introduction to complex parts. This book is just a good reference book.

Paul Graham ví học LISP/Scheme hiểu về programming như học chữ Hy-La để đọc cổ văn vậy

anw, cuốn này tưởng chỉ là ref book nhưng thấy nhiều thứ hay ho vãi

Good reference. This book is more like a reference manual actually. Some of the extended examples are interesting.
