You could try reading PLAI, which is a great book and available online:<br>
<a href="http://www.cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Books/ProgLangs/2007-04-26/" target="_blank">http://www.cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Books/ProgLangs/2007-04-26/</a><br>
<br>
Also, have you seen the Amb tutorial in the Redex docs?<br>
