Best starting tutorial for Racket?
Bump
Gonna put it out there that I started Realm of Racket and I'm not that fond of it, it's literally made by first year students and it's sort of amateurish and not great at explaining important concepts.

SICP

Kind of intimidated by it. Are there any good prerequisites, or should I just dive in?

HTDP is easier

SICP is also outdated.
HTDP all the way

It has some calculus in it, but it is an intro text book. There are lectures to help you too

I'll check out both and see which one seems to be more helpful, thanks.
The Little Schemer is the absolute best way to learn a scheme. It's also short and light. Read TLS and its sequel and then if you're up to it give SICP a go. There is an amazing lecture series that goes along with SICP that's available through MIT's open courseware program.
SICP isn't really about scheme though. You learn algorithms and scheme happens to be the tool you use to implement them.
For Racket specific stuff their docs are just fine. They have a good guide on their site.
