jQuery + Node.js + Phantom.js = Automation Awesomesauce!

Here is my presentation I gave at the jQuery Conference Austin 2013: Description: It is no secret the benefits that jQuery has to offer the web community. Its easy-to-use event management, DOM traversal and manipulation have completely changed the way we write Javascript and has also had a pivotal role in Javascript's recent transition into a first class programming language. What most people don't realize, however, is that it can also be used in conjunction with other exciting Javascript technologies to create powerful web automation tools. In this presentation, Travis will walk you through how jQuery can be used in conjunction with an incredible headless browser technology called Phantom.js. When pairing these two technologies together, you get a fantastic testing and automation framework, but we won't stop there... by mixing these with the backend Javascript framework called Node.js, we produce an extremely powerful testing and automation framework that is both efficient, fun, and easy to use. So let's make some awesomesauce by combining three of the most exciting Javascript technologies together!
