Abstract
In these lecture notes, I review the ``linear sigma model" approach to (0,2) string vacua. My aim is to provide the reader with a toolkit for studying a very broad class of (0,2) superconformal field theories with the requisite properties to be candidate string vacua. These lectures were delivered at the 1994 Trieste Summer School.
