From Elisabeth Hendrickson, testing consultant and my occasional partner in training:

I'd been resisting Ruby for such a long time, thinking that I alreadyknew enough scripting languages. I figured I'd be better off spendingmy time learning Java and C#. After seeing what WATIR could do andhow neat Ruby is, I became a convert. I dug in and learned the basicsof Ruby over the weekend (though there is still much I need tolearn).
