[plt-scheme] Hit People Over the Head with HtDP

> A personal perspecitve:
>
> The two books that have made the biggest impact on me -- as one of  
> these so-called experienced programmers -- have been Meyer's OOSC2  
> late last century, and more recently working through the early  
> chapters of SICP using DrScheme.  I have not read HTDP (yet).
>
> Within the Scheme-space I think that it would be useful to give some  
> short guide as to when and why to read:
>
> * The Little Schemer
> * HTDP
> * PLAI
>
> etc.
>
> Most recently I have made enjoyable, but abortive starts with PLAI  
> and Norvig's earlier tome, but haven't had the dedication to push  
> through very far with either.
>
> In my case it's not clear to me where I should go next, when I have  
> the time, and I would be more interested to see something of a meta- 
> reading guide for the experienced programmer interested in "serious  
> continuing self-education", rather than being "hit over the head"  
> with any particular tome, no matter how great.
