Hello, I'm going to be doing some work with crystallography and diffraction studies and I need a quick crash course in crystallography. I haven't done much of either outside of labs as an undergrad. Anyone have any suggested reading for quickly getting up to speed (or at least becoming functionally illiterate)?

Thanks!

This isn't a quick reading, but you might find it interesting;

This is MIT's 3.60 course, which is all about crystallography (40 videos & each about 40 minutes)

It's been perfect for me :)

Good luck.
