contents This introduction to the homotopy principle in complex analysis and geometry, better known as the Oka theory, is aimed at wide mathematical audience. After a brief historical survey of the h-principle in smooth analysis and geometry, I present the key notions of Oka manifolds and Oka maps, which developed from the Oka-Grauert principle and Gromov's theory of elliptic complex manifolds and elliptic holomorphic submersions. I discuss recent and ongoing developments, open problems, and mention some applications. The paper also includes a brief survey of the recently developed h-principles in the classical theory of minimal surfaces.
