What’s available re: Scheme for Win32?
I’m not really considering any sort of Emacs based option. I was always a vi man when I used unix.
How I did it: Some time everyday. I used Dr.Scheme on OS X and had fun. I'm planning on getting the next one in the series too. Maybe after that even the third in the series.
Lessons & tips: I don't feel like I really 'know' scheme but I look at programming in another way now and that was my purpose.

Scheme is the protoplasm that Programming Languages are made of. Worth learning, especially if you want to play with making your own languages. Alternatives: Other pliable languages such as Ruby, Python, or Squeak ( Smalltalk ).
Let’s help each other learn Scheme by studying SICP in a Seattle study group.
Between PLT scheme, sicp and the #scheme channel on irc, I am getting there. I have learned things about programming from studying scheme that I have been trying to learn forever. The sicp course is elemental. There are clearly two camps on the virtues of scheme. I am going to go out on a limb and speculate that these two groups are divided along epistemological lines and cannot really understand one another. If you aren’t sure which camp you are in, start working through sicp, and don’t skip any exercises. By the end of Chapter 2, you’ll know.
