series of 10 hours of lectures, 14-22 July 2010 entitled:- 

Introduction to Mirror Symmetry and the Fukaya Category 

Abstract: I shall give an overview of recent progress in Homological mirror symmetry
both in clarifying our conceptual understanding of how the sign of the canonical bundle
affects the behaviour of the mirror, and in obtaining concrete examples where the mirror
conjecture has now been verified.
