@title{@bold{Guide}: PLT Scheme}

@author["Matthew Flatt" "Robert Bruce Findler" "PLT"]

This guide is intended for programmers who are new to Scheme, new to PLT
Scheme, or new to some part of PLT Scheme. It assumes
programming experience, so if you are new to programming, consider
instead reading @|HtDP|. If you want a brief introduction to PLT
Scheme, start with @|Quick|.

@seclink["to-scheme"]{Chapter 2} provides a brief introduction to
Scheme. From @seclink["datatypes"]{Chapter 3} on, this guide dives
into details---covering much of the PLT Scheme toolbox, but leaving
precise details to @|MzScheme| and other reference manuals.
