Introduction to Algebraic Geometryby Sudhir R. Ghorpade - Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
This text is a brief introduction to algebraic geometry. We will focus mainly on two basic results in algebraic geometry, known as Bezout's Theorem and Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, as generalizations of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.

Algebraic Geometry over the Complex Numbersby Donu Arapura - Purdue University
Algebraic geometry is the geometric study of sets of solutions to polynomial equations over a field (or ring). In this book the author maintains a reasonable balance between rigor and intuition; so it retains the informal quality of lecture notes.

Introduction to Projective Varietiesby Enrique Arrondo - Universidad Complutense de Madrid
The scope of these notes is to present a soft and practical introduction to algebraic geometry, i.e. with very few algebraic requirements but arriving soon to deep results and concrete examples that can be obtained 'by hand'.
