Perhaps we should have a meeting soon to also look at a similar and more generic tool for groovy browser automation, web testing & screen scraping called GEB.

Any volunteers ?

Other resources . . .  Mike Moyer mentioned his favorite on-line resource, "Ruby in 20 minutes"

Perfect!  Thanks Scott

Michael: Thanks! Here are some of the links I referred to: https://github.com/saclark/agile_philly_watir_webdriver#learning-ru.... It costs money ($15) but I definitely recommend the "Cucumber & Cheese" book as a great start to finish tutorial on automated testing using cucumber and webdriver.

I thought this was a great event.  I learned a lot in a short space of time and it generated some interesting ideas.  Exactly what I'm looking for in these sessions.  Thanks to all.  Just one question:  Scott referred several times to a set of "how to" and reference links - where can we find those please?

The sample project from Scott Clark: https://github.com/saclark/agile_philly_watir_webdriver

We will have an empty project that we will start with for the demo and set out to write tests, having a finished project on hand to refer to if needed. This will serve as a resource , since the code comments can help anyone start learning it.

We will start first by writing a plain, raw Watir Webdriver script (no cucumber or anything) and then from there we can try and see how to write the same script with cucumber.

I don't expect to have enough time to complete a whole project, but we should at least be able to get through writing the Webdriver script and and a little bit of cucumber.
