Scott Hanselman

I always thought WatirMaker was a pretty good idea. It was meant not as a recorder, per se, but rather as a "faster typer."

I use it to jump start spikes like my recent Vonage script. If I wrote Watir often enough I'd just use the Ruby interactive shell.

(By the way, if you  have 15 minutes - maybe it's lunch - visit here: http://tryruby.hobix.com/ and try Ruby out, guilt- and install-free, in your browser.)

After I did WatirMaker in C#, Michael Kelly and John Hann wrote it again in native Ruby with the tiniest bit of help from me early on. It's rockin' sweet IMHO.

You can run it by simply running "ruby watirmaker.rb" from the command-line or by redirecting to a file "ruby watirmaker.rb > myscript.rb."

John emailed me and said that he and Michael are going to look for a permanent home for this, but until then it's here.
