[racket] New user wanting to know where to go

I dont know much of racket and a lot of stuff on this board goes much over my head(lots of smart people here), but I would recommend HTdP, it's an excellently written book. I'm thankful for mathias, shriram, Robby, and mathew, this book is what piqued my interest in computer science. I can't recommend it enough.

So far I have relied on the help of a couple of friends who are CS majors and the docs online, and looking at the questions on this list most things go over my head.  I have seen a lot about the book How to Design Programs here, would that be a good option?
