This repository contains:
- notes made while studying Yet Another Scheme Tutorial;
- exercises and examples from the tutorial;
- any other Scheme notes, exercises and examples of my own devising.
The study was done as part of an investigation into Functional Programming Languages with a view to answering the questions:
- what is all the fuss about ?
- do any offer any advantages over APL or Python for that matter
The notes and exercises are not a management investigation into why an organisation should use Scheme but a technical investigation into what you would need to understand in order to begin programming in Scheme.
While the material here is my own, it owes a great deal to the tutorial, which was written by SHIDO, Takafumi.
