The aim of these notes is to give a quick introduction to FK-percolation, focusing on certain recent results about the phase transition of the two dimensional model, namely its continuity or discontinuity depending on the cluster weight q, and the asymptotic rotational invariance of the critical phase (when the phase transition is continuous). As such, the main focus is on FK-percolation on \mathbb Z^2 with q \geq 1, but we do mention some important results valid for general dimension. To favour quick access to recent results, the style is minimal, with certain proofs omitted or left as exercises.
