This is a report on some recent developments in the theory of minimal surfaces. After some historical remarks the construction of the author's and B. Meeks' examples of complete embedded minimal surfaces of finite topological type is described, beginning with C. Costa's example from 1984. The use of computer graphics for the construction of the examples is exhibited. The mathematical background has been published in several recent papers.
