I found this book to be an extremely clear introduction.

    Thank you nkh.

    We should start a nice collection of free programming books like this, there are quite a few of them.

    As an aside, is there a gentle introduction to prolog?

    I like the "gentle" word in the title. Makes it less intimidating, well at least for me.

    The elisp tutorial that comes with emacs is a well written starting-point for the total beginner.
