Pretty good intro to Scheme imo, anyway, you can find the rest of the videos in his account.

Do you by any chance have a MOBI (Or even EPUB) format? Would be nicer to read it from an e-reader.

  Unfortunately not! I just can’t seem to find a way to properly generate it from markdown, including the code samples with the nice syntax highlighting. I probably didn’t try enough, I’m sure there’s a simple way out there.

    pandoc can do this, but it’s not especially simple.

      Why shouldn’t it be simple? Shouldn’t pandoc input1.md input2.md ... final.md -t epub3 -o book.epub. More epub options are listed in the man page, such as for specifying custom fonts, stylesheets and cover images.
      
      Then, producing a mobi file is trivial using kindlegen or calibre.

        It’s not simple because about six seconds later I want to start tinkering with the code highlighting and maybe bump up that one margin and should that footnote have a slightly different font and…

        If you can edit .zip files and save it’s internal files, it’s quite simple to play around with the embedded stylesheet, since it’s just regular CSS.
        
        But one should also say that Ebooks shouldn’t be overcustomized, IMO, but kept simple for the sake of compatibility and an ease of reading.

    I can help you with this if you upload the book source on github, i have a template for generating epub from markdown here if you are interested.
