Guide to Prolog Programming













ON-LINE
GUIDE TO





>>> PROLOG PROGRAMMING <<<BY ROMAN
BARTÁK








Second Edition,
1998
Welcome to On-line Guide to Prolog
Programming designed and maintained by Roman Barták. I opened this site as a
contribution to evolving area of logic programming languages and PROLOG in
particular. I intend it to be an introduction to logic programming and PROLOG
for beginners but I also expect to cover some advanced topics. It's not meant as
an unclassified collection of links to other pages although I also include some
interesting links here.
This is a second edition of
former Interactive Prolog Guide that brings new design and better organization
of chapters. It is also more "interactive" as I include Test Zone where you can try and test your
Prolog programs interactively within your Java-capable web browser. Finally, I
expect to add some chapters on advanced topics you asked me for. I still
investigate the possibility to provide the Guide as a file to download but I
have not decided yet.
If you want to know more
about the author of the site, you are welcomed to my Home Page. Also, your comments, suggestions and
corrections are
highly appreciated.
