[Jscheme-user] JScheme CookBook?

[Kyle R. B. <kyl...@gm...>]

I'm re-introducing JScheme where I work and I'm looking for references
to help refresh my memory and to help my coworkers get productive as
quickly as possible.  Towards that end, the example code that comes
with the distribution [1] provides some good examples, but is most
useful if you already have an idea about what you're looking for.

For some of the initial barriers, things as simple as concatenating
two strings (string-append) or creating an array of a specified type
(array ClassName.class item1 item2 ... item N) - or (make-array
ClassName.class numInstances), time often gets spent searching through
the source tree or Googling with varying levels of success.

The cook book style references do a fairly good job of filling this
kind of role.  Have there been any thoughts towads starting a cookbook
for JScheme?  I've seen reference to http://schemecookbook.org/ though
they don't have any JScheme related content.

There are other cookbook projects on source forge, it would be easy
enough to start a jscheme-cookbook project.

Any thoughts?

Hi Kyle,

The cookbook idea sounds great.

Lets do this!

Maybe the best approach would be to create a jschemecookbook wiki
(a la wikipedia) with discussion/history pages. I'll look into setting  
up a
cookbook wiki for jscheme next week. The cookbook model would work
well for Jscheme as often you just want to have a simple interface to  
some
Java library ...

Best,
