I assume that you know that you get Programming Ruby (1st edition) when you install Ruby? It's in C:ruby/doc/ProgrammingRuby.chm. And it's all over the web, too. I've already recommended the 2nd Edition of that book. Also, the Pragmatic guys publish a couple of other books about Ruby that I like: Brian Marick's "Everyday Scripting with Ruby (for Teams, Testers, and You) is exceptionally good. http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/bmsft/index.html Maik Schmidt's "Enterprise Integration with Ruby" is also quite good, although I personally think there are more efficient ways to do most of what Schmidt demonstrates. http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_eir/index.html The thing to remember as you crank up this stuff is that Watir is not intended to be an end-to-end test tool. Watir provides a way to drive your system via Internet Explorer, and that's all. It is incredibly powerful, though , when you add in the ability to manipulated databases, files, network protocols, parse text, use XML, etc. etc., all of which is done by Ruby itself, or by Ruby libraries other than Watir. Have fun! _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
