Its one of my goals in 2022 to teach myself programming. To kick this goal off early, I have decided to pick up HTDP 2e from Amazon.  After a cursory glance through the book and working through a few problems. I notice that there are no provided solution/ answer to the exercises in the book.  Which means that there is no way to check my solutions against  the proper recommended way to solve the exercises.  As a result, I have no idea if I am actual on the right track in this learning process.  Where can I find the solutions to the exercises in HTDP?  If there are no solutions what book would you recommend that would be suited for a self-learner? 

 

Thanks

I would recommend following the free course on edx: "how to code simple data" https://learning.edx.org/course/course-v1:UBCx+HtC1x+2T2017/home  , as it takes many things from the book and presents them in a more digestible and interactive manner.

Solutions for the first edition are available at

https://htdp.org/2003-09-26/Solutions/

Also, you will probably find a faster response for questions like this at the racket discourse,

https://racket.discourse.group/

(You might even find a pointer to 2e solutions? not sure)

Best,
