D branes in string theory,I

Abstract

In these lectures we present a detailed description of the origin and of the construction of the boundary state that is now widely used for studying the properties of D branes. (Lectures given at NATO-ASI on "Quantum Geometry" in Akureyri, Iceland, August 1999).
