Functional Programming in Scheme: With Web Programming Examples

This is a teaching material about functional programming in Scheme. The current version of the material is a 2nd edition. Scheme is a pragmatic choice of programming language in the functional programming paradigm, with unique flexibility due to the membership of the Lisp family of languages. Furthermore, Scheme is both very powerful and rather small compared to other Lisp languages.

Although the primary goal is to teach students to program in Scheme, this will be suitable for anyone taking a general programming principles course.

This book is unusual amongst books on functional programming in that it is primarily directed towards the concepts of functional programming, rather than their realization in a specific programming language.
