Scheme Tutorial 1 - Variable and Function Definition

thanks so much for this. Gave me a good base for comp sci next year in uni

Um, when it gave me the language selection menu, it didn't list "module." It just showed the legacy and experimental languages.

@MarioWars In Dr. Racket, you instead have to choose "Use language declared in the source (ctr-U)" from the choose language dialogue

nice video. I'm taking a class of porgramming languages organization and the professor give us Scheme soo this will help me learn better

@Unity0Is0Power The program I use is now called Dr. Racket, but a professor has told me that the change in the language name seems a little silly to him. To my knowledge, the differences between racket and scheme are minimal. In any case, you can definitely still do scheme in Dr. Racket.

Is this still available? It seems to tell me about DrRacket when I visit a web page. Where do I get DrScheme for my windows 7 OS? Is Racket really now Scheme? Also, I'm already on python, would you say that is a good choice to start learning programing structure? I'm wanting to program my own games. I hear C# is were I should start or at least go next after I understand logic/structure.

[ChrisVARao]

@Unity0Is0Power I don't really plan on covering anything related to GUIs, so you may want to look elsewhere for developing games. If C# provides a nice GUI editor, it seems like it would be a good place to start. I myself started with VB .NET, but C# seems like a fine choice.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. :]
