learn prolog

Well with a firm grasp of an imperative, dynamic, functional and mix-of-all-the-above language, Its time to dabble with prolog.

Time to dig in to Peter Norvig’s Paradigms of artificial intelligence to help on this new journey

Managed to get a copy of this book.
It seems much more difficult than most prolog books I’ve looked at.

I wrote some code to learn prolog’s parsing features here

not all of the advanced algorithms, but I’ve learned the basics of prolog and implemented some algorithms on it.

I can say that it changes some things in my mind, after years of object oriented and imperative programming languages experience.

I’d like to program a logic engine that will help me analyze “complex” subjects and situations. My brain’s getting tired of running thru all possible scenarios and permutations, simulations. I’m only human after all. Can’t do it all.

Got myself a copy of Ivan Bratko’s “PROLOG Programming for Artificial Intelligence” to be hopefully finally able to learn this language and pass the knownledge engineering courses ;)
