Democratising Access to Logic Programming: A Web Application Design Tool for Querying Prolog Code

Logic Programming (LP) is a powerful paradigm for gaining fundamental knowledge and skills in Computer Science. LP facilitates the development of Computational Thinking skills, which are relevant for problem-solving, and also strengthens Logical Thinking abilities. To teach LP effectively, specialis...
