Prolog Training Courses

Amzi! provides training courses for beginning to advanced Prolog work. The courses are suitable for any implementation of Prolog, but are taught using Amzi! Prolog with it's source code program trace capabilities.

The courses can be customized as required for specific training needs.

The courses can be given on-site or in scenic Asheville North Carolina, a premier South Eastern vacation destination in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains.
