The Power of Prolog is an online book introducing modern Prolog and logic programming, written by Markus Triska. The repository is self-hosting: it includes a Prolog HTTP server (requiring Scryer Prolog) that serves the book content locally.
Use cases
- learn modern Prolog from scratch
- understand logic programming and unification
- study constraint logic programming and CLP(FD)
- read a Prolog book offline locally
- learn declarative programming techniques
- find teaching materials for a Prolog course
- learn about meta-interpreters and DCGs
When to choose
- you want a free, in-depth, up-to-date introduction to modern Prolog
- you need teaching materials covering constraints, purity, and termination
- you prefer browsing the book locally via its self-hosting server
When to avoid
- you need a Prolog interpreter or compiler itself rather than a book
- you want a general programming tutorial unrelated to logic programming
- you need a formally licensed artifact (the repo has no explicit license)
