It looks like `Realm of Racket' just went into publication--
and there's a 40%-off coupon code that you can use until
the 20th:

The description from the No Starch Press webpage:
In Realm of Racket, you'll learn to program by creating increasingly
complex games. Your journey begins with the Guess My Number game and
coverage of some basic Racket etiquette. Next you'll dig into syntax and
semantics, lists, structures, and conditionals, and learn to work with
recursion and the GUI as you build the Robot Snake game. After that it's
on to lambda and mutant structs (and an Orc Battle), and fancy loops and
the Dice of Doom. Finally, you'll explore laziness, AI, distributed
games, and the Hungry Henry game.
As you progress through the games, chapter checkpoints and challenges
help reinforce what you've learned. Offbeat comics keep things fun along
the way.
