Hello, all. I just purchased Realm of Racket and am working my way through it. Although I've been programming for 30+ years, most of that has been with procedural languages (MUMPS, FORTRAN and COBOL) on character-based medical information systems (i.e. reports, EDI and utilities). This is one of my first attempts at GUI and functional programming and I'm enjoying it a lot. Thanks to the creators of Racket and Scheme!
I'd like to ask some questions as I go through the book. Is the book appropriate for learning Scheme in addition to Racket? What % of the book deals with non-Scheme issues? In the GUI version of Guess My Number many of the functions/procedures have an argument of w, which I understand to be world. Why is world the argument instead of, say, interval? Thanks, Steve
