Abstract
The idea of partons and the utility of using light-cone gauge in QCD are introduced. Saturation of quark and gluon distributions are discussed using simple models and in a more general context. The Golec-Biernat Wüsthoff model and some simple phenomenology are described. A simple, but realistic, equation for unitarity, the Kovchegov equation, is discussed, and an elementary derivation of the JIMWLK equation is given.
