"Multimedia: from Wagner to virtual reality"
by Randall Packer & Ken Jordan
Understanding terms like interactivity in the contemporary landscape of media and technology can be a daunting task. This book can help by providing both historical and contemporary perspectives. It will serve as a frame to our discussions of transmedia and what it means to design and create in this medium.

"ActionScript: The Defintive Guide" by Colin Moock
Not required , but strongly recommended. This is the best ActionScript book on the planet and it will be very handy this semester.
