Proper forcing remastered

In these notes we present the method introduced by Neeman of generalized side conditions with two types of models. We then discuss some applications: the Friedman-Mitchell poset for adding a club in \omega_2 with finite conditions, Koszmider’s forcing construction of a strong chain of length \omega_2 of functions from \omega_1 to \omega_1, and the Baumgartner-Shelah forcing construction of a thin very tall superatomic Boolean algebra.
