In this chapter, I introduce the concepts of electromechanical superconducting resonant circuits, a topic known as microwave cavity optomechanics. As part of that introduction, I will provide: a review of the field's development, a discussion of its relationship to "optical" cavity optomechanics, and a description of its current progress. In addition, I derive in pedagogical detail the classical dynamics of a mechanical oscillator parametrically coupled to a resonant circuit. Finally, I show that the cavity optomechanical Hamiltonian is the quantum description for a such an electromechanical circuit.
