I’m familiar with Scheme (SICP) but not with Racket/DrRacket. Is there any book that focuses on Racket/DrRacket particulars? (Something similar to “Beautiful Racket” — which I am a big fan of, but discusses things besides DSLs).

@todo There is Realm of Racket, teaches racket through basic games.

Is there an easy way to convert the string “My Fancy Friend’s Title” to ’my-fancy-friends-title

(string->symbol (regexp-replaces (string-downcase "My Friend's. Shoe")
                 '([#px"['\"]" ""]
                   [#px"\\W" "-"]
                   [#px"[-]+" "-"]
                   )
                 ))

@soegaard2: The Racket Guide reads like a reference manual … but is precisely what I asked for. Thanks!
