I have the first book on pdf which I acquired from someone who just finished the course and the language of the course is so different from ED209 and all my previous courses :(
I have ordered a few books and already have one for my ebook which I'm trying (trying is the perfect word) to get to grips with this field.
The course starts January 2011, so hopefully I will have a decent head start and my brain will be a little more prepared and comfortable for/with the course. (fingers crossed) LOL
