Kurzbeschreibung
Prolog is a programming language, but a rather unusual one. ``Prolog'' is short for ``Programming with Logic'', and the link with logic gives Prolog its special character. At the heart of Prolog lies a surprising idea: don't tell the computer what to do. Instead, describe situations of interest, and compute by asking questions. Prolog will logically deduce new facts about the situations and give its deductions back to us as answers. Why learn Prolog? For a start, its ``say what the problem is, rather than how to solve it'' stance, means that it is a very high level language, good for knowledge rich applications such as artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and the semantic web. So by studying Prolog, you gain insight into how sophisticated tasks can be handled computationally. Moreover, Prolog requires a different mindset. You have to learn to see problems from a new perspective, declaratively rather than procedurally. Acquiring this mindset, and learning to appreciate the links between logic and programming, makes the study of Prolog both challenging and rewarding. Learn Prolog Now! is a practical introduction to this fascinating language. Freely available as a web-book since 2002 (see www.learnprolognow.org) Learn Prolog Now! has became one of the most popular introductions to the Prolog programming language, an introduction prized for its clarity and down-to-earth approach. It is widely used as a textbook at university departments around the world, and even more widely used for self study. College Publications is proud to present here the first hard-copy version of this online classic. Carefully revised in the light of reader's feedback, and now with answers to all the exercises, here you will find the essential material required to help you learn Prolog now.

Format:Taschenbuch
First of all, a few words about the structure of the book. Each chapter covers a complete topic and is devided in three parts:
The first consists of the theory of the topic, which is illustrated with a few examples. The second part contains a few exercises, either of theoretical nature or programming tasks. The third part, called 'practice session', instructs how to use a prolog interpreter and helps to discover the features of the interactive environment. The exercises are mainly programming tasks.
Although prolog is a programming language and commonly not the first language someone starts learning, the book doesn't expect one to have knowledge in other languages. It starts at the very beginning and ends with advanced topics like database manipulation and working with files.
All in all it's more focused on how to use prolog than on how the prolog interpreter works, though it contains a few hints and a little piece of theory, which is needed.
It's quite easy to read and doesn't take a long time to work it through.
It actually deserves a fifth star if there were not the high price. Hope you enjoy learning prolog with this book.

Great introduction to Prolog
1. Juni 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Learn Prolog Now! lives up to its name. It's a readable and succinct introduction to simple Prolog programming. It assumes no programming experience, although readers with no programming experience might find the beginning chapters hard to understand because the explanations are brief. There are lots of exercises at the end of each chapter, and the practical sessions at the end of each chapter help the reader to get in-depth understanding of how Prolog works and how to debug Prolog programs. Two chapters on parsing explain how to parse regular languages and context-sensitive languages. The chapter on cuts and negation provides the clearest explanations of those concepts in Prolog I have seen so far. I used the online version of the book, which does not have exercise solutions; the solutions provided in the print version of the book should make it easier to know when you've really understood the text and provide help when you can't get a solution quite right. Although the book provides very little in terms of applications of Prolog except for the two chapters on parsing, it gives a great introduction to the basics of the language.

I like it
20. Oktober 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is also free online but I bought for reading while travelling and this fits the bill perfectly. Good Prolog introduction with exercises at the end of each chapter to get a better understanding of the material. Answers are provided for the pen-and-paper exercises which are not available in the online edition, however it would have been nice to get also the answers for the practical parts
Font is good and I had no problem reading it, only thing that might have been better is the margins since the end of sentences on the left side can be hard to read with plenty of space on the other side of the same page. This was a minor issue though and I would not let it stop me in buying the book
Overall it is good and I am very happy that I decided to buy the book version

not a programming language in the usual sense
12. September 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Prolog is not really a programming language, although is has a syntax and grammar and the usual Chomsky machinery. It is really an automated inference and substitution engine to solve problems in logic and to apply to model domains. The language part of the system is solely to express the problem. It is one of the few real sucesses of decades of "Artificial Intelligence" research.
This book is a good starting point, but some of the material is much higher level than the basic introduction of the rest of the book.
