We introduce light-cone quantisation, first for particles, then for strings, and show how this leads one to standard representatives for physical states. The shift in the ground state energy of the bosonic string is derived using both zeta-function regularisation and Lorentz covariance. The derivation of the critical dimension D=26 of the bosonic string using Lorentz covariance is provided through a guided exercise.
