"Does one necessarily have to invest in the Course Material mentioned?"
No, one does not. The course consists mostly of reading. I remember a few
semesters back, one of the listed textbooks was a $50 book on Java. After
the course was over, a disillusioned student complained that Java was
touched on only one week out of the 6 or 8 weeks of the class, and
certainly did not warrant getting the Java book in addition to the
others. And a DIFFERENT Java book was the listed textbook for the Java
class!
