   I believe you learn AI much better by writing actual programs than by just
   reading about it.  "AI Expert", a monthly magazine, has actual code 
   accompanying many of its articles which can be downloaded from bulletin
   boards mentioned inside the magazine (on the masthead).  Some vendors
   offer free demo disks which allow you to develop toy rule-based systems of
   up to 25 or 50 rules.  Some AI texts, such as "Expert Systems: Principles
   and Programming," have accompanying floppy disks that have AI code you can
   load and run on your PC.
