Ran into a stumbling block learning recursion in Python; the explanations always seemed to assume some prior knowledge of recursion (obvious joke here). Needed something that would cover recursion in depth, but the abstract discussions of it to be found in texts like Niklaus Wirth's Data Structures + Algorithms = Programs are even harder to follow than just good discussions of how it works in the context of a language. Learn Prolog Now! is the right combo of hand-holding through every step of a recursive rule in Prolog. You learn how to to trace the Prolog interpreter's variable instantiations as it attempts to satisfy the rule. Folks this is a hard language - you can get some sense of that looking at reviews on this site. Chances are you're not gonna pick up Bratko and learn to write it unless you're already an academically trained computer scientist. This book has upped my comfort level with the language to where I can: a. now write recursive functions in Python. b. move on to harder Prolog texts. As for the question of whether this is the right language for you, well, are you looking for a challenge or a way to get a raise at work? If the latter, probably no. If the former, you'll be challenged and if you enjoy programming, you'll have some fun too. The real prerequisite for Prolog is a knowledge of predicate logic. If you find the language mystifying, recommend Warren Goldfarb's Deductive Logic. Kowalski's book on the Horn clause semantics of Prolog is fascinating but it's not gonna make sense if it's your first book on first-order logic, and Prolog is essentially fascinating as a clean implementation of FOL, unlike most other programming languages (LISP for instance implements the Lambda calculus which is more advanced). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great explanations and examples to communicate Prolog theory *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2022* I've bought several Prolog books over the years. This is the first one that communicated the concepts in a way that I could easily understand. Many, "in other words" statements and very detailed examples.I did have one problem in that I use PDC Visual Prolog and the examples didn't always work as written, but it was easy enough to convert the code to PDC Visual Prolog. PDC doesn't seem to be very popular so my problem shouldn't be an issue for most people. Also, you can always download a free copy of other Prologs that would probably work as written. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars I like it *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2011* This book is also free online but I bought for reading while travelling and this fits the bill perfectly. Good Prolog introduction with exercises at the end of each chapter to get a better understanding of the material. Answers are provided for the pen-and-paper exercises which are not available in the online edition, however it would have been nice to get also the answers for the practical partsFont is good and I had no problem reading it, only thing that might have been better is the margins since the end of sentences on the left side can be hard to read with plenty of space on the other side of the same page. This was a minor issue though and I would not let it stop me in buying the bookOverall it is good and I am very happy that I decided to buy the book version --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/30043456-learn-prolog-now-texts-in-computing-vol-7](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/30043456-learn-prolog-now-texts-in-computing-vol-7) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
