Web Development With PLT Scheme
I just ran across this article about using PLT Scheme to write web applications. It’s a great read and a good introduction to Sceme and how it can be used to write “real” programs, not just academic assignments.
From time to time people ask how to develop for the web with PLT Scheme on the PLT mailing list. The quick answer is “Just as in any other language”, but that’s not how to get people hooked on Scheme. To write a decent web-application require knowledge of a range of subjects such as HTML, databases, servlets, and web-servers. For some reason there is a lack of tutorials on these subjects, so I have decided to make an attempt at writing, if not a complete tutorial, then an elaborate get-started example.
