Are you a stat’s fan?, then pick up your copy of SAS for free starting this fall at your university!
On-Demand for Academics is an online program for teaching and learning data management and analytics. It allows professors and students to use several applications, including SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Enterprise Miner for free. More applications may be added in the near future. Is SAS Institue following in the foot steps of software giants?, its something which we should wait and watch!

Prolog – which stands for “programming with logic” -is one of the most effective languages with a unique approach for building AI applications . Using Prolog you define a problem with logical Rules, and then set the computer loose on it instead of writing a program that spells out exactly how to solve a problem. This paradigm shift from Procedural to Declarative programming makes Prolog ideal for applications involving AI, logic, language parsing, computational linguistics, and theorem-proving. Now, Visual Prolog (available as a free download) offers even more with its powerful Graphical User Interface (GUI), built-in Predicates, and rather large provided Program Foundation Class (PFC) libraries. A Guide to Artificial Intelligence with Visual Prolog is an excellent introduction to both Prolog and Visual Prolog. Designed for newcomers to Prolog with some conventional programming background (such as BASIC, C, C++, Pascal, etc.), Randall Scott proceeds along a logical, easy-to-grasp path as he explains the beginnings of Prolog, classic algorithms to get you started, and many of the unique features of Visual Prolog. Readers will also gain key insights into application development, application design, interface construction, troubleshooting, and more. In addition, there are numerous sample examples to learn from, copious illustrations and information on helpful resources. A Guide to Artificial Intelligence with Visual Prolog is less like a traditional textbook and more like a workshop where you can learn at your own pace – so you can start harnessing the power of Visual Prolog for whatever your mind can dream up. Deftly constructed at 190 pages, A Guide to Artificial Intelligence with Visual Prolog is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the COMPUTERS / Intelligence (AI) & Semantics category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, A Guide to Artificial Intelligence with Visual Prolog meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $25.95. Additionally, A Guide to Artificial Intelligence with Visual Prolog can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks
