A Prolog Introduction for Hackers || kuro5hin.org:

Strange, but true: Prolog is, without a doubt, currently the simplest and the most straightforward programming language of all mainstream programming languages; however, the special interests of academia and inept teaching have given it a horrible, pariah-like reputation. (After all, you cannot write a PhD thesis explaining obvious, practical things.) This article aims to ameliorate the situation; to introduce the practical simplicity of Prolog to those that might normally sneer at what they consider a horrible, convoluted playing field of doctorate theory.
