If you've no previous knowledge about logistic regression, Hosmer and
Lemeshow's would be a good intro. However, you do need basic statistical
knowledge. Then, you can move on to Agresti's Categorical Data Analysis (Wiley,
1990). For sample size calculation, you need to read papers. You can also buy
software that does sample size determination.
