One of the best resources I've found is Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation by Shriram Krishnamurthi[1]. It walks you through building a small interpreter and language in Racket. Not only does it teach Racket, but it helps understand how and why the language works.

Does anyone use Racket in the wild? For real projects, not counting the Racket team.
The software running HN is written in the Arc language [1], whose interpreter is written in Racket.
