On the topic of pretty covers, I love the covers of these two books a lot:
1. The Art of the Metaobject Protocol (https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/art-metaobject-protocol https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/art-metaobject-protocol)
2. The Art of Prolog (https://www.amazon.com/Art-Prolog-Second-Programming-Techniques/dp/B01NH0AJJK https://www.amazon.com/Art-Prolog-Second-Programming-Techniq...)
but haven't been able to find any other motivation to buy them. Also I have never printed the Common Lisp Quick Reference(http://clqr.boundp.org/clqr-a4-booklet-all.pdf http://clqr.boundp.org/clqr-a4-booklet-all.pdf) because I always imagine it having a really pretty cover, and everything I try just falls short.
- icebraining 8y agoOh, we used the Art of Prolog in my sw engineering course. It's a good book, although it doesn't cover the newer features of Prolog interpreters, like Constraint Logic Programming, IIRC.
- agumonkey 8y agoare there standard or near standard books about new topics in Logic Programming ?
- icebraining 8y agoI don't know, but there's a recommendation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=869042 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=869042
- agumonkey 8y agoside note: found a book about geometry in prolog https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-4-431-68036-9_6 https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-4-431-68036-9_...
- abhirag 8y agoThanks for the review, I have my eyes set on The Reasoned Schemer(https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/reasoned-schemer-second-edition https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/reasoned-schemer-second-editi...) if I ever feel like learning more about logic programming, maybe after that I can give The Art of Prolog a go :)
