Simply Scheme is available online
Brian Harvey’s Simply Scheme fantastic book is now available online. Brian Harvey just announced it a couple of days ago on comp.lang.scheme and it got me all excited. I already had a paper copy but being able to walk around with a much lighter version is really appealing to me.
Both PDF and HTML versions are available. Unfortunately the PDF version is not available as one big bundle. Instead you have to download 28 chapters, which is itself a pain, and then you need to combine them somehow.
I got the 28 PDFs with wget, from http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/pdf/ssch[00 -> 27].pdf then used ghostscript to combine them:
$ gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=simply-scheme.pdf ssch00.pdf ssch01.pdf ssch02.pdf … ssch27.pdf
Worked great.
