 While you don't need sophisticated Prolog skills in the beginning for asking simple queries, you should have a rough understanding of how a Prolog program looks like and what the basic concepts are. Once you start to implement your own queries and (later) your own modules, knowledge of Prolog becomes more and more important. The tutorials at http://www.learnprolognow.org/ are a very good introduction -- try to follow them at least until Lesson 6. The [[http://swi-prolog.org/pldoc/doc_for?object=manual|SWI Prolog Reference Manual]] provides a comprehensive overview of the available predicates. While you don't need sophisticated Prolog skills in the beginning for asking simple queries, you should have a rough understanding of how a Prolog program looks like and what the basic concepts are.

 Once you have an overview of what KnowRob provides and know how to write OWL and Prolog, you can start to create your own KnowRob extensions. You will first need to decide which parts to implement in [[faq#Which programming language should I use for what purpose|which language]] and then then proceed to [[create your own KnowRob package]]. Once you have an overview of what KnowRob provides and know how to write OWL and Prolog, you can start to create your own KnowRob extensions.
