The second edition of this introductory textbook covers all the main features of the 'web programming' languages PHP and MySQL, together with detailed examples that will enable readers (whether students on a taught course or independent learners) to create their own applications or understand existing ones. A particular focus is the use of PHP to generate MySQL commands to access a relational database from a script as it is executed.Each chapter includes aims, a summary and practic...

This book explains and explores the principal techniques of Data Mining, the automatic extraction of implicit and potentially useful information from data, which is increasingly used in commercial, scientific and other application areas. It focuses on classification, association rule mining and clustering.Each topic is clearly explained, with a focus on algorithms not mathematical formalism, and is illustrated by detailed worked examples. The book is written for readers without a s...

Logic Programming is the name given to a distinctive style of programming, very different from that of conventional programming languages such as C++ and Java. By far the most widely used Logic Programming language is Prolog. Prolog is a good choice for developing complex applications, especially in the field of Artificial Intelligence.Logic Programming with Prolog does not assume that the reader is an experienced programmer or has a background in Mathematics, Logic or Art...
