CP Violation in the B System: What's Old, What's New?

I review the many ways of obtaining information about the CKM matrix through CP violation in the $B$ system. I include direct and indirect CP violation, the role of penguins and isospin analysis, tagging, and $B\to DK$ decays. I also discuss recent developments showing how to use $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry, along with some dynamical approximations, to extract from $B$ decays to $\pi\pi$, $\pi K$ and $K\kbar$ the weak CKM phases, the strong phase shifts, and the sizes of the various contributing diagrams. Finally, I briefly show what can be learned from an exact treatment of the CKM matrix.
