Hi David,
The three resources you mentioned are still valid as far as I can judge.
Furhter, I can recommend to read carefully the new and old topics of this
thread. There are a lot of points which are helpful and important. It took time to find out what is really important. But in the end you know what is your solution for your part II assignment.
It took me about six month to finish part II. I mad several designs and the last one I changed also a lot. Just go ahead and start.
My best wishes
Lucy
