Using DrScheme

Before starting the How to Design Programs course, it is important to get accustomed with the program DrScheme by using the Help menu. You should definitely start by installing the programming environment DrScheme on you computer. The online manuals are somewhat outdated, because they are based on older versions of DrScheme. I advice against using those, and rather use the built-in material, which is much more recent.

For instance, if you--like me--want to know what operators are available for the Student beginner version, look it up in:

Help -> Help Desk -> Manuals -> Beginning Student Language -> PRIM OPs

The Help Desk is a searchable library, which means it has it's own search function. If you have any questions, you should use the Help menu to try to find an answer. You probably will find it, because the Help Desk is pretty extensive.
