Review of the hardback: '… a fundamental new way of looking at constraint programming … This book … is a great present to the constraint programming community, which will certainly advance scientifically because of its publication. We need good books to educate new people to Constraint Programming in the best way, and this book is a great way to do this.' Theory and Practice of Logic Programming
Review of the hardback: '… a fundamental new way of looking at constraint programming … done with the highest level of precision and formality, without however making the reading task too heavy, as it is typical of Apt's writing style … I really enjoyed reading Apt's book and am using it for my current course on constraint programming … it is extremely well written … the formal style never makes reading a heavy task … it provides a very original abstract view of the main concepts of constraint propagation and constraint programming, which can be very useful both for beginners who need to understand[ing] these concepts without getting lost, and also for experienced researchers … I have always been stunned by his exceptional ability to be formal and clear. This book is yet another witness for this ability … a great present to the constraint programming community, which will certainly advance scientifically because of its publication. Journal of TLP

Insubstantial and obscure
2 April 2010
Format:Paperback
I'd avoid this book. It explains the material poorly and seems largely obsessed with its own notation. If you want to learn about constraint processing, the best books I've seen are Dechter's introduction and the handbook edited by Rossi et. al. Those two will take you all the way to the research literature.
A well structured and systematic approach to Constraint Programming
14 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
The book is the outcome of research results by the author. The author's proof theroetic approach to different concepts and constraint solvers in this field is particular attractive and well presented in the book. This framework unifies a whole lot of concepts and approaches in the field of constraint programming.
ALL the materials are well articulated and presented. As a newcomer to the field, I could understand all of the concepts step by step (but in a slow manner because you have to think and digest).
Why I did not give 5 stars to the book because there is no practical sessions for me to try out different algorithms. But the same author has written another book on using Eclipse (a freeware) to do the constraint programming. If two books can be integrated togather, this will be the best.
