Multiplatform and Mobile App Development in Scheme with Gambit/SchemeSpheres

ABSTRACT

This document explains the motivation and fundamental ideas behind the SchemeSpheres1 project. It outlines the conceptual approach taken by this framework, given a set of requirements that are considered essential. The different sides of the key aspects that SchemeSpheres tackles are summarized, focusing especially on the set of tools supporting multiplatform/mobile app development that it provides.

Current implementation supports most of the required functionality, which will be explored along with the process of building an example app. Limitations of the framework will be discussed during the tutorial, exploring possible future solutions as well current workarounds.
