one more vote here for Everyday Scripting.. Why's guide (mentioned by someone else early in the thread) was also interesting, and kind of helped me with some basic ruby mindset things in a way. On Apr 3, 1:05 pm, Jim Knowlton wrote: > I love Brian Marick's book because it really cuts through a

I love Brian Marick's book because it really cuts through all the "programmery" stuff that's interesting to development types but makes testers eyes glaze over, and talks about the core, basic stuff Watir developers need to know. I am a QA Engineer who had some Python experience when I picked up

I also went thru Chris Pine's book, although it didn't teach me much about OO programming. I have a lot of experience programming - it's the lack of OO skill that trips me up. Brian Marick's Everyday Scripting with Ruby was a big help, and of course the Pickaxe book. I bought Scripted GUI Testing
