[plt-scheme] homeschooling/self-study

I take it thats what these servlet thingies are for?  Though being a
gen-x'er I was thinking of a games/interactive storytelling...  (Are
there any bigger examples of the servlet/continuations bizzo apart
from the small ones supplied with DrScheme?)

This is a web-based tutorial for Common Lisp  -
http://apsymac33.uni-trier.de:8080/Lisp-Course
I believe it is written in lisp and it provides an interpreter. 

As for Self Study- I got HTDP and SICP(the books) and am attempting to
use them for self study (no scheme course at my uni), A teacher is a
good thing - if you can find one.
There is online video of lectures available - but the first lecture
alone is bigger than my allowed monthly downloads on broadband. -

I did translate the 'casting spels with lisp' tutorial to scheme -
just the code - a big step for me and I learnt a bit about macros. 
Its a 'comic book style' tutorial on macros in lisp - not an
interactive web app. It could be made into a good interactive web app
