This is a very good basic introductionary lecture. it is very well presented and understandable.
it makes heavy use of David MacKays book which can be found and read online on his website: http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/ma...
a second book that is only mentioned in passing is jaynes book: "Propability Theory: the logic of science" of which the first three chapters are available here: http://bayes.wustl.edu/etj/prob/book.pdf
