Does someone know a tutorial or something which explains how to get from "tutorial Prolog" to "real project Prolog", because that's not look anything like tutorial Prolog.

Prolog seems interesting, but any time I tried to do anything more than toy examples on my own, I got infinite recursion, unsolvable problems.



This is one of the best resources for “real” Prolog:

https://www.metalevel.at/prolog

His YouTube videos are also incredibly good.


I have to concur. Markus Triska is best Prolog resource out there nowaday. Extremely well explained, using modern notations etc.


I'll second that. Incredibly good quality videos. The precision of the narration is simply amazing. Even if you don't intend to practice Prolog in your programming life, it's worth a listen.


Thanks.

I'm curious how you figure a language whose central verbs and nouns are logic "isn't math".


Many people, when they say math, mean continuous math.

At work, my colleagues are almost entirely statisticians and actuaries, and I sometimes joke that my only math course at university was Calculus 1. I have of course done lots more math, but it’s all CS type stuff like logic and discrete structures like graphs and trees which is a very different world from continuous stuff.


These cultural differences even determine how you eat your corn: http://bentilly.blogspot.com/2010/08/analysis-vs-algebra-pre...

(I know this is weak evidence that has been debunked by stronger studies.)


Discrete math it's far easier to grasp than continous curves under calculus.


But it sort of is maths.
