Browser Automation in Ruby

Let's Assume we have an assignment to do, Where we are supposed to download the images of all the Freedom Fighters of India. So, how can someone do this??

The Conventional way is to, first Open Browser, head to homepage, Select google Images Option, Type the Name in the Search bar, hit enter, click on the image, Right click and save the image. Again Type name in the Search Bar, hit enter, click on the image, right click and save the image and keep repeating this. Huhh!!!. Let's take some break..

So, In this article I have a Screencast Attached, Which shows how to automate web browser from a basic Drivers Setup to final simple Link navigation.

Before Getting Started, basic knowledge of Ruby Programming language is required.

NOTE: This method Works Well on Mac, Not sure about other OS's. If facing any difficulties, please let me know in the comments section below...

Ember + Rails | Way - 1 |

Hola Rails developers, We all have developed websites using Rails as a full-stack framework. But, somewhere we feel, an extra pinch of features must have been there to build up web apps through ease. By isolating the frontend and backend of our App. So, This post has a video attached, in which I am gonna clearly explain to you about connecting our Ember js (which acts as frontend) to Rails API (which serves as Backend).  Links to the gems used: ember-cli-rails active_model_serializers active-model-adapter Want any clarifications? comment down below...                                                                   Meet Author  😜
