I will lecture about this material myself. The goal of the lectures is twofold: build enough theory so we can use it in the next semester for a seminar about perverse sheaves, and explain some of the basic material about derived categories of coherent sheaves on projective smooth varieties.

References: I will mostly restrict myself to material available in the Stacks project. Please look at the references given there. Look at the following chapters in particular
