I heard about Dr. Scheme but haven't really used it. What is your experience with SICP, what set of scheme tools did you use when learning SICP?

http://www.neilvandyke.org/racket-sicp/ is recommended. You can do execises in your favoutite lang too.

what do you mean by saying "You can do exercises in your favourite lang too"? Isn't it just scheme? – Sergey Jun 20 '11 at 8:42
You could 'translate' execises. I am trying to do them in Scala. Sure you can try it when you are already comfortable with the text. – arctic_dev Jun 20 '11 at 8:52

I used the extention for dr.Scheme (check the link). It suited me fine for learning purpose. This is what most SICP learners advised to use. – arctic_dev Jun 20 '11 at 9:07

Apologies if this is already obvious: DrScheme is the same thing as DrRacket. I also think that DrRacket with Neil Van Dyke's extensions is the right way to go, but then, I'm (extremely) biased. – John Clements Jun 20 '11 at 21:55
