reference(s)
Apart from some general information about for example agile method(s), we have included some references to our own work, not as a reference in the sense of a standard to be adhered, but rather to share experience(s), and indicate a possible format for writing a report or even paper to be published at some suitable venue.

CA5

reference(s)
The main reference for this course consists of a treatise on convivial design, which is generally opposed to industrial design, since it presupposes a process of co-creatity instead of a top-down design-driven process.

NM2

reference(s)
As said before, a highly recommended reference for interactive data visualization is Visualizing Data by Ben Fry, not in the least because the approach described is tightly connected with processing and its underlying philosophy of creative intuitive understanding by computational means. However, also the flex/as3 related references are worthwhile because they give access to the display environment of flash, which is the dominant media technolgy for (business-related) web-applications.
