This paper documents an experiment in teaching Prolog as a first programming language to first year computing undergraduates. It begins by introducing the main programming paradigms before considering the factors involved in first language choice and the advantages and disadvantages of Prolog. It concludes by illustrating how Prolog can be utilised across much of the computing curriculum.
