[comp.lang.prolog] Prolog books: Summary

hanusj@bionette.cgrb.orst.edu (Joe Hanus - Botany) (06/06/91)

Thanks to the people who sent me recommendations for Prolog
texts.  (Even their entire bibliographies on prolog.  The Quintus
rep also sent copies of pages from their reference manuals).

The following seem to be the most frequently chosen as worthwhile
texts.  Clocksin and Mellish is considered a classic basic book
on prolog.  The Art of Prolog comes recommended by a number of
sources for developing non-trivial applications.  The Bratko book
is also frequently and highly recommended.
