Am currently doing a self-study of hurwitz numbers and Hurwitz theory, is there a good source for one with only basic knowledge of algebraic geometry. Notes and papers are also welcome.

There was a course on Hurwitz numbers at the UC Davis a few years ago: math.ucdavis.edu/~mulase/courses/mat280f09.html Somewhere down that page (next to "References") it says: "We intend to produce lecture notes to be published". Maybe you can ask Prof. Mulase if they ever came to existence. If so, I would love to read them, too :) – Jonas Morrissey Nov 8 at 18:08

@Janas thanks for suggestion seems fruitful, I wrote him a email, he is shared the notes on www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/… – Ongaro Nyang' Nov 9 at 7:59

There is a nice exposition by Renzo Cavalieri that I often recommend to students:
