"Bayesian Programming comprises a methodology, a programming language, and a set of tools for developing and applying … complex models… The approach is described in great detail, with many worked examples backed up by an online code repository. Unlike other books that tend to focus almost entirely on mathematics, this one gives equal time to conceptual and methodological guidance for the model-builder. It grapples with the knotty problems that arise in practice, some of which do not yet have clear solutions."
—From the Foreword by Stuart Russell, University of California, Berkeley

"The book has many worked examples backed up by an online code repository. The book provides a contibution on conceptual and methodological guidelines for model-builders. The authors discuss the problem how to build a Bayesian computer. The book has an excellent bibliography."
—Nirode C. Mohanty, in Zentralblatt MATH 1281
