== Standards ==

There are two standards that define the Scheme language: the official IEEE standard, and a de facto standard called the ''Revised^{n^-th} Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme'', nearly always abbreviated RⁿRS, where <I>n</I> is the number of the revision. The latest RⁿRS version is R⁵RS, available online at http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/ .

* [http://www.htdp.org/ Online book ''How to Design Programs''] which purports to teach programming using Scheme. The authors seem to have some very clear ideas on how they think teaching programming should be done.

* [http://www.scheme.com/tspl2ed.html Online book ''The Scheme Programming Language'']] written by R. Kent Dybvig. A useful language reference.

* [http://library.readscheme.org/ A bibliography of Scheme-related research] including links to online versions of many academic papers, including all of the original 'Lambda Papers.'
