Description
The aim of this book is to help anyone struggling to learn prolog, or how to solve problems with Prolog.
Our journey starts with simple facts and queries, and progresses through variables, deduction, tracing, query order and efficiency, recursion, termination and non-termination, the cut, negation as failure, and ends with the development of a simple but powerful prolog meta-interpreter.
This book takes a different approach to other guides. Here we:
Develop understanding by exploring, hands-on, a progression of bite-size examples. Introduce relevant theory as we go along, and not accumulate lots of it up front. Keep our examples minimal to avoid being distracted by unnecessary code. Limit the topics we cover to those that are central to prolog. Take all the time and space needed to talk through how new ideas work, step-by-step. Avoid terminology and jargon if it is likely to hinder more than help newcomers to prolog.
Despite its age, its simplicity and power has kept Prolog a living language through to today. It is not just a language taught as part of university computer science and artificial intelligence courses. It is a language people actively seek out and learn because it is a joy to use.
