Books
If you pick any of the books below, you will be really really ahead of others.
REPL and XREPL
If you are using command-line based racket repl, you can use the racket
command for the basic repl. But the basic repl sucks big time.
We suggest you to use the xrepl.
There are two ways to start it:
- Run
$ rackert -il xrepl
and you will start the xrepl. You will know if you get the->
prompt. - Run
$ racket
and inside it, type(dynamic-require 'xrepl #f)
. You will get the->
prompt again.
XREPL is much much better. Use it!
