Yes, it is active. Don't know what's with the archive; someone in charge of the archive should maybe investigate. But there's another archive on gmane, the newsgroup 'gmane.lisp.scheme.gambit'. You can point your usenet reader to the news.gmane.org to access gmane's extensive set of news groups. Or use a web browser on gmane's web archive, http://gmane.org/ -- hendrik

Thanks for the input Hendrik! I've got _some_ experience with newLISP, but I seem compeled to investigate scheme a bit more. If you know of a good newbie scheme tut let me know please. I'm only an avid, self-taught hobbyist. TIA .. -- Duke

Exactly how I started out in the 1960's.

*** There's How To Design Programs, but it starts more elementary than you need, and it doesn't seem to get into continuations, which is what Scheme was invented for. Both are available for free download or reading on the web. The first edition is available for purchase on paper, if you prefer. The second edition is still being written and revised, and it seems to be more fun. However, How To Design Programs is based on Racket, which is a very different dialect of Scheme from Racket, and actually on a series of teaching sublanguages at that, with some specialized libraries. *** The other book I'd recommend is The Structure and Interpretation of Cmoputer Programs. It goes into a lot more depth than How To Design Programs, but a brief look through it suggests it doesn't get into continuations either. Have a look at both; they're both available on the web for free. *** I wish I knew of a good current source about the use of continuations and continuation passing. Decades ago, there were a bunch of technical memoranda from MIT with titles like 'Lambda the Ultimate'. There's links to this stuff on http://library.readscheme.org/page1.html Steele's master's thesis is linked there, too. It describes one of the early implementatinos of Scheme. -- hendrik

Thanks for those suggestions!! And if my "Total & Instant Recall" serves me correctly (even at 68 yrs of age :D ) - I have those 2 resources collecting dust in my HD.

I'm off to check it out!! Thx ... -- Duke

You might want to redownload the second edition of HtDP. The second edition keeps getting revised. It's a work in progress, and the authors listen to the readers.

Noone got an updated SSL certificate, just click through the "I understand" thing. If you want to donate a 10-year SSL certificate to fix it, feel free to, I guess. 2015-02-17 23:05 GMT+05:30 Duke Normandin <dukeofperl@ml1.net>:
