What is a good intermediate introduction to Scheme?

Tags:

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 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.
