I wrote this article as an introduction to the MOSFET for total beginners, since I use it for several projects ( #Yet Another Electronic Lampyridae and #Yet Another (Discrete) Clock to name a few).

I go through several aspects of the part, including its parasitic behaviours, from the angles of the advantages and drawbacks. Several proof-readers were very happy of the article and it provides a foundation for more projects.
