[mercury-users] Beginner books for logic-functional programming

You really want a couple of introductory texts on functional programming
and logic programming.

Sterling and Shapiro's "The Art of Prolog" has a very good reputation
and Clocksin and Mellish's "Programming in Prolog" is also supposed to
be a good starting text.

Mercury (I would argue) probably has more in common with eager
functional
languages like ML than with Prolog so you may want to pick up something
like "Elements of Functional Programming" by Chris Reade.

Cheers,

Ralph
