|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In this chapter, we introduce the basic concepts that underpin the
|
||
|
|
elegance and power of the Scheme language.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Readers who already possess a background knowledge of Scheme may happily
|
||
|
|
skip this chapter. For the reader who is new to the language, however,
|
||
|
|
the following discussions on data, procedures, expressions and closure
|
||
|
|
are designed to provide a minimum level of Scheme understanding that is
|
||
|
|
more or less assumed by the chapters that follow.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The style of this introductory material aims about halfway between the terse
|
||
|
|
precision of R5RS and the discursiveness of existing Scheme tutorials. For
|
||
|
|
pointers to useful Scheme resources on the web, please see <a class="ref" href="Further-Reading.html">Further Reading</a>.
