Re: Starting with Prolog

Ciao Francesco,

First donwload SWI prolog and its manual (in the place of the seemly
abandoned GNU Prolog).

Then consider to buy "the craft of prolog" by Richard O'Keefe (411 pages, 65
eur). http://www.ita-bol.com/bol/main.jsp?action=engscheda&ean=978026215039

This is for bypass a lot of doubtly useful introductory prolog (and logic)
books.
Many good books are freely downloadable over the internet... believe me:
spare that money.
One for all: Nilsson and Maluszynski, Logic Programming and Prolog (282
pages, 0 eur)
http://tinman.cs.gsu.edu/~raj/8710/f03/bok.pdf

Bye
