No books are necessary to take this course, but you should have a notepad for your written notes and visual ideas. It would be useful to bring a memory stick (or portable hard drive to back up our work – please note PC formatted hard drives can be read by Apple mac computers, but not written to.) CDs/DVDs are available.
