If you were ever curious about learning Prolog, here’s 11 links to get you started. I did a lot of Prolog programming in the 1990s. It was one of the highlights of my career.  I played around with Lisp and other A.I. technology, but Prolog was the one I kept coming back to. I don’t write as much code these days, and when I do, I tend to write it in Python. But Prolog still has a place in my heart. It’s a great language that can do things no other language can. To see what I mean, check these out:

1. Here’s a good intro to get you a handle on the language:Introduction to logic programming with Prolog
2. Want to dive in and learn Prolog? This is good: Learn prolog in Y Minutes
3. When learning code it is good to look at other people’s code. Here’s a repo on Github of sample code to look at: mjones-credera/prolog-samples: Sample Prolog code
4. This repo has even more code: Anniepoo/prolog-examples: Some simple examples for new Prolog programmers
5. You can take advantage of all that data in a relational database by connecting it up to Prolog like this: SWI-Prolog connecting to PostgreSQL via ODBC – Wiki – SWI-Prolog
6. You can even run it on a Raspberry Pi: Prolog on the Pi | scidata
7. IBM used Prolog with the initial version of Watson. You can read about it here: Natural Language Processing With Prolog in the IBM Watson System – Association for Logic Programming
8. One of the things Prolog was really good at. In some ways I think better than some standalone ML tools: Expert Systems in Prolog
9. Lots of good links, here: The Power of Prolog | Hacker News
10. I haven’t played around with this but it is worth considering:  Small Prolog – Managing organized complexity
11. Finally, here’s 99 small problems that Prolog can solve.

Here’s a whole new list of Prolog links I found in the 2024 to add to this list:

1. I found this helpful: how to get started using  prolog in visual studio code
2. This person’s page has a lot of material on  Prolog and more
3. How to process  rdf with prolog
4. This is great: a fast way to learn  prolog in X minutes.
5. An old piece on the power of prolog.
6. How prolog helps do artificial intelligence.
7. Relatedly, natural language processing with prolog.
8. A simple tutorial on Tau Prolog
9. Another intro to Prolog.
10. How to  learn prolog language by creating an expert system.
11. Here’s an expert sysem  repo. This one is a course advisor. This one does lung diagnosis. Here’s a  Music Suggestion Expert System.
12. A good  Prolog CheatSheet.
13. Something else to help with  Learning Prolog.
14. More good tutorials on  the power of prolog. Also this.
