Allow me to be very slightly less cautious than Robby: it may not be clear from
this text that nearly every BSL program is also a Racket program *and* a Scheme
program. If you work through HtDP—or even a part of it—you will be, I claim,
both a Scheme and a Racket programmer. (And perhaps also
I would say that the stuff in HtDP is teaching you the fundamentals of
programming; it isn't (about) teaching you a specific programming language.
These fundamentals apply to any programming language you might wish to
program in. And, of course, the book does use a (set of) languages to teach
you,
I see. The stuff in HtDP, does it transfer over to any Racket syntax?

Sure! I have dabbled into python (but not fully, only learned variables,

that i dont have much experience. I do not have a CS degree or
(unfortunately) plan to get one. This is purely for a hobby.

Good to hear from you! There are actually a number of different books that I
might suggest. In order to best direct you, it might be useful to know
something about your programming background?
Best,
