Sketchy LISP is an introduction to functional programming in Scheme.
Functional programming is an approach that focuses on the evaluation
of expressions. Programs are formed by combining functions. Most
functions are free of side effects which allows to examine programs
formally and prove properties of algorithms.
This tutorial provides a step-by-step introduction to functional
programming in Scheme. It covers various aspects of the language like
data types, conditions, recursion, list processing, lexical scoping,
closures, function definitions, dynamic typing, etc. By means of
numerous examples of varying complexity, it takes the reader on an
entertaining and informative tour through the language.
