Thanks

If you are absolutely, totally new in Prolog, then

1. Forget everything what you know about programming,
2. Get Adventure in Prolog from www.amzi.com, go through al
lexercises. Prolog purists will say that this is wrong, and that is
wrong, and they will be right, but this is good start, anyway
3. Get Clocksin and Mellish "Programming in Prolog" and read (wrong...
STUDY...) cover to cover
4. If you are OK with Clocksin, get Shapiro.

DO A LOT OF EXERCISES, and the best source for these exercises is book
by Bratko (Prolog in Artificial Intelligence)

Get good Prolog, and SWI is probably the best candidate for learning

A.L.

P.S> How to change habits from procedural programming to Prolog?...
There is a little book by Clocksin "Clause and Effect" with sub-title
"Prolog for working programmers". This little book shows how to switch
the paradigm
.
