# Guile and Scheme Links

There are many places you can go to on the Web to find out more regarding Guile and the Scheme programming language. We list a few of them here:

## Scheme:

Scheme is a simplified derivative of Lisp, a small and beautiful dynamically typed, lexically scoped, functional language.

- A history and introduction to Scheme, with links to more sites, at the Wikipedia collaborative encyclopedia.
- R5RS is the official Scheme language definition and reference.
- A classic introduction to Scheme by Ken Dickey.
- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by Abelson, Sussman, and Sussman (full text online).
- Introduction to Scheme and its Implementation (the complete book on-line) by Prof. Paul R. Wilson (Univ. of Texas).
- The MIT Scheme Home Page (where do you think Scheme was invented?)
  - also check out the MIT Scheme Underground
- There is the comp.lang.scheme newsgroup, and its FAQ.
- The Internet Scheme Repository has a lot of code and documentation.
- schemers.org is another Scheme site and collection of resources.

## Guile:

Guile is a free implementation of Scheme, designed to be plugged in to other programs as a scripting language.

- The home site for the GNU Guile project.
- The GLUG (Guile Lovers Use Guile) Guile user's site.
- See parts IV and V of the Guile Reference Manual for additional Scheme functions and types defined within the Guile environment.
