elder@INFO1.DECNET ("INFO1::ELDER") (02/26/86)
From: "INFO1::ELDER" <elder@info1.decnet> Could someone recommend a good list of books about Prolog (besides "Programming in Prolog" by Clocksin) which would be good for someone to read who is justing learning the language? Thanks. P.S. If you reply to me, please drop off the '.DECNET' that may appear in the header of my message. Our mailer has been acting funny lately. My address is ELDER@WPAFB-INFO1 and not ELDER@WPAFB-INFO1.DECNET. Greg Elder [Return-Path: addresses are nearly always more reliable than From: or Reply-To: addresses. -- KIL]

I would reccommend Logic for Problem Solving, by Robert Kowolski.

Greg: In reply to you question about introductory books on Prolog: You might be interested in a combination textbook/tutorial that myself and two colleagues have put together. The name of the package is: The MPROLOG Primer and consists of a 500 page textbook (18 chapters) titled "A Primer for Logic Programming". It is a fairly comprehensive introduction to Prolog, MPROLOG and logic programming. The tutorial software which accompanies the book has 9 different tutorials on typical Prolog subjects (recursion, backtracking and so forth). In addition, the software has a "freeform" area where you can enter and test programs.

``Start Problem Solving with PROLOG" by Tom Conlon. Published in 1985 by Addison-Wesley, Wokingham, U.K. ISBN 0-201-18270-X. This book uses micro-PROLOG (available for Sinclair Spectrum/(Timex 2000?) and IBM PC, for example). It includes many examples and complete programs, one, for example, for playing Tic-Tac-Toe.
