4.0 out of 5 stars Good book to learn the Selenium API
Yes, Selenium 2.0 is now available, but everything you learn in this book carries forward.

This is definitely a book for programming geeks. If you're going to get a lot out of this book, you probably need to know java and be familiar with Hudson/Jenkins. Other topics include Eclipse, SVN, and ANT.

If you're not a developer, or want to use the...

2.0 out of 5 stars Wish it was updated
I'm a COMPLETE Selenium newbie (and know very little about Java) so I got this book so I could learn Selenium step by step since lots of companies are asking for this tool.

This review is from: Selenium Simplified (Paperback)
I'm a COMPLETE Selenium newbie (and know very little about Java) so I got this book so I could learn Selenium step by step since lots of companies are asking for this tool.

Although this book seems to be well written, I'm finding myself having trouble just with the few few chapters. The reason?

In the book it takes you step by step through the installation of Selenium RC.
However, when you go to the Selenium site to download 'Selenium RC' it appears that Selenium RC has been replaced with "Selenium Server".

So the syntax in the book is outdated, it will tell the reader to enter a certain string in the Command Prompt Window and that doesn't work in this new "selenium-standalone-server" folder. With the old Selenium-RC it looks like folders for Java, Ruby, C# etc. are downloaded along with Selenium-RC.. not the case anymore.

Learning new software is challenging enough, it gets really confusing when the book you're referencing is out of date.
