Introductory lectures to loop quantum gravity

We give a standard introduction to loop quantum gravity, from the ADM variables to spin network states. We include a discussion on quantum geometry on a fixed graph and its relation to a discrete approximation of general relativity.
Comment: Based on lectures given at the 3eme Ecole de Physique Theorique de Jijel, Algeria, 26 Sep -- 3 Oct, 2009. 52 pages, many figures. v2 minor corrections. To be published in the proceedings
