I'm like the OP in that I've set up the environment and am up to Ch 12 in Practical Common Lisp. Plus it finally motivated me to learn emacs after a couple of decades of vim. The extract from the Land of Lisp makes me think I might enjoy Scheme more, since I'm just learning Lisp at home for fun.

Can you recommend a particular online learning resource? I've had a quick look at MIT's videos of their lecture series, but I've just run out of spare disk space on the laptop, so storing a few GBs of movie is out for the moment. If there's something like PCL for Scheme, that would be great.

SICP isn't as entertaining, but it's a classic. http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/

Also, The Scheme Programming Language. http://www.scheme.com/tspl3/

The Scheme Programming Language now has a 4th Edition:

Thank you to you both.
