In these informal lectures, I shall try to describe the procedure for computing perturbative amplitudes in superstring theory. This can be regarded as a crash course on the subject, primarily for advanced graduate students and post-docs, where I shall skip many derivations but will try to explain the final result. I'll not assume any prior knowledge of string theory, but knowledge of quantum field theory and general relativity will be assumed and some knowledge of conformal field theory will be helpful.
