Wanting to expand PrologHub into a more rounded community service I thought it’d be great to revamp Learn Prolog Now! into an interactive online book with a little more modern design.

[image] grossdan: In my opinion i would not focus on teaching Prolog for beginners. I’ll have to disagree with that. That is not disagreeing with what else you suggest or offering to help with your ideas. IMHO many people are able to self-learn a procedural programming languages like C or Ba…

Hi Eric I dont disagee with you, it is for beginners in Prolog, but not for beginners in programming. I think it is very unlikely that someone completely new to programming will choose prolog as a first language. Python, Java, Javascrip or C++ is much more likely… With each having functional exten…

I see it like this. Every semester I’ll have in influx of student traffic. I should provide a good service for them and encourage them to stick with it. This same service will be suitable for all beginners. With more people sticking with Prolog we’ll have more people wanting to use the language. …

Facing the same challenge in Logtalk - how best to help new users learn the language - some things that proved to make a difference are: A short tutorial highlighting the main features. I opted for a “Learn X in Y minutes” tutorial . There’s also one for Prolog with room for improvement (hint, hin…

Sorry, typo! I meant ETL: Extract, Transform and Load.

Hi, Looking at the material, i, unfortunately, find it hard to follow – the tutorial show how to use a construct, but not what practical problem the construct comes to solve, and how it fits in a bigger picture of problem solving For example, to show that a list can be encapsulated in an object co…

Here is some constructive feedback. I haven’t checked all of your LPN site yet but found .3.2 Atoms, Variables, and Complex Terms So I checked ISO/IEC 13211-1:1995(E) AKA the ISO standard for Prolog The word compound is used, the word complex is not used. In 1.3.3 Functor and Arity you have …

Indeed, this is the book as written by Patrick Blackburn, Johan Bos, and Kristina Striegnitz, who say this in their license notice: The authors would like to maintain backwards compatibility with the printed, published version of LPN. That is, ideally numbers of chapters and exercises shouldn’t ch…
