Take a look at _Programming for Artificial Intelligence: Methods,
Tools, and Applications_ by Kreutzer & McKenzie, Addison Wesley, 1991
[ISBN 0-201-41621-2].  It gives a pretty fair coverage of concepts and
includes "toolbox" code (also available on disk).  Examples are given
in Prolog, Scheme, and Smalltalk, and the book is fairly readable
overall.

If you see this as too heavyweight, look at _What Every Engineer
Should Know About AI_ (I forget the author(s)).
