Product Description
Product Description
Written for those who wish to learn Prolog as a powerful software development tool, but do not necessarily have any background in logic or AI. Includes a full glossary of the technical terms and self-assessment exercises.
From the Back Cover
Logic Programming is the name given to a distinctive style of programming, very different from that of conventional programming languages such as C++ and Java. By far the most widely used Logic Programming language is Prolog. Prolog is a good choice for developing complex applications, especially in the field of Artificial Intelligence. This book does not assume that the reader is an experienced programmer or has a background in Mathematics, Logic or Artificial Intelligence. It starts from scratch and aims to arrive at the point where quite powerful programs can be written in the language. It is intended both as a textbook for an introductory course and as a self-study book. On completion the reader will know enough to use Prolog in their own research or practical projects. Each chapter has self-assessment exercises so that the reader may check their own progress. A glossary of the technical terms used completes the book. Max Bramer is the Digital Professor of Information Technology at the University of Portsmouth, England. He has taught Prolog to undergraduate computer science students and used Prolog in his own work for many years.

An excellent learning tool,
By
This review is from: Logic Programming with Prolog (Paperback)
This book provided clear explanations, useful examples and a range of exercises that made learning the Prolog language all the easier. An ideal introduction to the language that will take a novice programmer to intermediate level, providing them with the building blocks and understanding necessary to progress further with Prolog.

different style of programming,
By W Boudville - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Logic Programming with Prolog (Paperback)
Prolog is one of these languages that has struggled for decades to achieve wide usage. As Bramer explains, it is a logic language, as opposed to procedural languages like C, Java or C#. In its space, it competes mostly with Lisp, which also has failed to garner broad acceptance.Anyhow, Bramer's book is a little different from most other texts on Prolog. No prior programming expertise in any language is needed. Alternative books often assume an already sophisticated background in computer science. Certainly, if you have programmed in something like Fortran or C, you'll find the mindset and syntax here to be very different. Which may well be one advantage to learning Prolog, even if you plan not to take it very far. It exposes you to a different mode of programming logic. That might even help you in your "regular" coding. Now if you have coded in SQL, then there are conceptual similarities with Prolog. Both are declarative languages, and SQL is essentially an instantiation of set theory. Turns out in Prolog, much of it also amounts to set manipulation. |
