Re: Problem to understand "Prolog Vocabulary"



PRO a écrit :
About books.
Realy, there is not much left to know.
In prolog you have Clauses, Unification, Backtracing, Cut and that is
pretty much everything.
The problem with books is that they all try to teach you logic instead
of programming.
To me (personally) it is like teaching how to surf before teaching how
to swim.
My advice is: first learn how to swim, then try to surf.
In other words: find out how prolog works first, then learn the logic
of facts, rules and implications, etc.
Books usually try to teach you the other way round.
Something like: "logic is good" and "programming is not good for
humans".

Anyway, having said that, here are some online references for you:
1. http://www.amzi.com/AdventureInProlog/advfrtop.htm looks quite good.
2. http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~remko/prolog/faq/ gives you a lot of
references.

Hello Robert,

I'm understand thanks to you how prolog works, in my opinion it has is a long-term training. So, like you said : "it is necessary to learn gradually "without to want to go too quickly"".

Sincerly,

Benoit
