Scheme is a small and elegant dialect of LISP that was developed in the mid-1970s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Scheme's versatility is making it the language of choice for introducing newcomers to computer programming.
Now widely taught throughout the world, Scheme is increasingly replacing Pascal in introductory computer science courses at colleges in the United States, including such big names as Rice, Berkeley, Princeton, Cornell, M.I.T., Johns Hopkins University, Indiana, Yale, U.C.L.A., and the University of Illinois. At the secondary school level, Scheme has gained a foothold in many schools, as well as in such prestigious programs as Johns Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth and Duke University's Talent Identification Program. Over 200 of the most respected educational institutions around the world now use Scheme to teach paradigms of modern computer science, including functional and object-oriented programming. And the list continues to grow!
Scheme is easier to learn and more powerful that BASIC, Pascal, or C. To find out more about it, read The Scheme Advantage.
Let Scheme be your guide to modern computer science — functional programming, 3D modeling, object-oriented programming, C++, and much more!
