Recommended reading: Chapter 1 from the book gives a general introduction. Chapter 3.1 till 3.3 are not covered in the lecture directly, but worth reading in order to get more familiar with the topic and related terms. For the programming labs it might be worth browsing Chapter 10 till 10.3.1 (don't worry if you don't understand all details yet, but it might help understanding the basic ideas if you have a rough look at it).
