Here's the list of Scheme language texts that I have found doing some research for a project...these are not articles in journals, such as SIGPLAN. An Introduction to Scheme Jerry Smith Prentice-Hall 1988 ISBN 0-13-496712-7 The Scheme Programming Language (good) Dybvig, R.K. Prentice-Hall 1987 ISBN 0-13-7918864-X and, of course: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs Abelson, H. & Sussman G.J. MIT Press 1985 ISBN 0-07-000426-9 which is really a programming text with Scheme as the language used by the authors to implement the programming techniques they introduce. The dialects used in each book are: PC-Scheme for Smith (i believe) Chez for Dybvig MIT for Abelson & Sussman and there are other dialects running around also, such as X-Scheme C Scheme, and MacIntosh Scheme. Plus there are probably others that I ignore because they run on machines which, as a WPI student, I do not have access. Dybvig has a summary of forms (for Chez), and also states whether or not the form is essential or optional in the "Revised^3 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme". Which can be found also in: SigPlan Notices 21, 12, December 1986 Jonathan Rees, and William Clinger, eds. Enjoy! the GiMP.
