Released July 2006

DrScheme is an interactive, integrated programming environment designed specifically with the needs of beginners in mind. This tour highlights some of the features that make it especially useful in education.

Before you can use DrScheme, you must choose a language level. When you try to run a program, DrScheme displays an error message asking you to choose the language you want. If you are using DrScheme as part of a course, your instructor will tell you what language choose. Otherwise, click on get guidance for help.

You can always change the language level using the Language | Choose Language... menu item.
