What is a good intermediate introduction to Scheme?

I am trying to find a resource where I can practice my programming skills in scheme.

I have a class coming up that uses scheme exclusively. While I have done moderate amounts of programming in C++ and Java, and grasp the basic ideas about good/bad programming practices and different programming paradigms (as much as开发者_开发问答 a second-year college student could be expected to), Scheme looks like hieroglyphics to me!

Any help would be appreciated.

If you haven't looked at Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs yet, that's the obvious (and free!) place to start.

I really like The Little Schemer. The format is very different, but it all builds up from basics.

If you're looking for an intermediate introduction, SICP will not be a good choice. You could try HtDP, but that not too much of an intro to Scheme as it is an intro to programming in general.

The Scheme Programming Language, 4th Edition (Covers the language as described in R6RS.). If you are using a Scheme that conforms only with R5RS, use the 3rd edition of the book.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is highly recommended.

The Guide to Racket http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/index.html is a good place to find the information you need. It has a very good navigation system and many simple examples. You can use it with SICP.
