The aim of this article is to review some recent progress in the field of intersecting D‐brane models. This includes the construction of chiral, semi‐realistic flux compactifications, the systematic study of Gepner model orientifolds, the computation of various terms in the low energy effective action and the investigation of the statistics of solutions to the tadpole cancellation conditions.
