No, you can learn each of them on its own, and proceed in any order if
you want to learn all three of them.

Thank you all for your suggesstions.
After careful review, I have chose following books to read:

1) Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
2) How to Design Programs

Thanks for your recommendation. May I ask if Scheme has support for TDD or
are there any TDD libraries/frameworks in Scheme? A quick online search
didn’t show desired results. I found only TDD for Clojure.
Thanks,

I would like to add "The Little Schemer" to the list of good books

at the very beginning, but accelerates quickly.
I would say I got more out of SICP than The Little Schemer, but both are
phenomenal books in my opinion. SICP h
Hi,
I’d like to second Vladimir’s recommendation of Felleisen's How to
Design Programs (https://htdp.org/). It is a very well-written book
that doesn’t go too deep without preparing you first. (I should note
that I didn’t finish it.)
SICP is a classic, and it is very comprehensive, but it is
I've read Practical Common Lisp. It's very good to learn Common Lisp if
you already know the basics of programming.
It's rather "practical" and does not go into the deeper concepts
introduced by SICP. In particular, it does not deal much with
functional programming.

Here are some "introductory yet comprehensive" books about programming
with Scheme that will help you get proficient with Guile and other
Scheme implementations:
Felleisen et al's How to Design Programs: https://htdp.org/
Havrey and Wright's Simply Scheme

Haha, I think I meant from a computer science perspective. I suppose that

though. Nonetheles

Heh… I freely admit to not having a clue what ‘Swiss-army

SICP is great!
Kind regards,
Raghav,
I can't *not* mention classics like SICP (Free, comes with
retro-wave videos, easily found on-line), and The
{Little,{R,S}easoned} Schemer series (not free, and not for
everyone). Both of these focus on Scheme, which as you probably
know is a very elegant minimal dialect of Lisp.

I do not have any computing and programming background. I would like to

dialects of LISP. The ones I am interested in are Common LISP, Emacs

Can some one suggest indroductory yet comphren
