This list is a collection of course books that cover some of the topics we will see in class. Students have access to all of them (except the Connolly and Begg book) either through O’Reilly or through the university’s own library (for Databaseteknik).

Given the broad range of topics studied, there is no single book that covers all the aspects. Therefore, students are recommended to access the book chapters identified in class that are relevant for each topic.
