This section will be covering different ways you can automate repetitive and menial tasks that we have to do on a daily basis. Since this is an intro discussion on what is possible, I will be starting with the very basics and explaining the core concepts of how the internet works. This will include a walk through of what actually happens when we load a web page, how a web page works and how to automate tasks. I will be walking through a few common examples where automation can be applied and how to get started. I will be covering both client (browser) and server side automation.
What to expect:First I will give a theoretical explanation of how to automate some complex and long running tasks. Then I will go through a live demo on how to write some simple jQuery expression and demonstrate how they be used to automate much simpler tasks that can be very time consuming.
Who should attend:Anyone who has ever had an interest in learning about technology and how to automate simple and menial tasks.
