Python also has a large and supportive community with many online resources and documentation. Many tutorials, forums, and videos can help beginners get started with Python programming. Selenium is an open-source tool that automates web browsers. It provides a single interface that lets you write test scripts in programming languages like Ruby, Java, NodeJS, PHP, Perl, Python, and C#, among others. I personally prefer Python as it’s very easy to write code in Python. A browser-driver then executes these scripts on a browser-instance on your device. To install this module run this command into your terminal: pip install selenium. Here what you'll learn after downloading this book: - Automate Instagram Messages using Python; - Automating Happy Birthday post on Facebook using Selenium; - Automatic Birthday mail sending with Python; - Automated software testing with Python; - Automate Google Search using Selenium; - Automate linkedin connections using Python; - Automated Trading using Python; - Automate the Conversion from Python2 to Python3; - Bulk Posting on Facebook Pages using Selenium; - Automate WhatsApp Messages With Python using Pywhatkit module; - Automate backup with Python Script; - Automated software testing with Python; - Hotword detection with Python; - Automate linkedin connections using Python, and more… I have explained every topic in the most simplest way and you can use these topics in multiple place.
