The basics of SPSA (simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation) initiated and developed by J.C. Spall in his 1992 IEEE Trans. Automat. Contr. paper will be desctribed. We point out the advantages of SPSA over the finite difference stochastic approximation (FDSA) or Kiefer-Wolfowitz (KW) method. Its applicability in noise free optimization and in discrete optimization will be also briefly described
