0 What languages are supported by Selenium and Why did we chose Ruby ?

Selenium is supported by major programming languages. This include: C#, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby. More details on support for Selenium can be found here.

We have chosen Ruby for this tutorials for following reasons:

• Scripting languages are more convenient to work.
• Learning curve for Ruby is small.
• We have not chosen Python, because it is very strict on indentation and structure of program.
• We have not chosen Java, because the learning curve is large. 
• We wanted something that is easy to learn even for a person from a non-programming background.
