selenium-vba: Automate the Web

selenium-vba: Automate the Web

Backstory

Cloud based web applications are amazing, they make life so much simpler. What they've done is effectively eliminated the numerous problems associated with deploying applications within a business. Now, it doesn't matter what operating system, configuration settings, etc. are installed on the machine, the cloud rains down a consistent user experience by simply using a compatible web browser. Awesome stuff, really.

Now, lets get back to the real world. The web was designed for documents and extended to include visual/audio media. Tack on some client side scripting and bang!: interaction and logical processing becomes feasible. All of the wonderful developments bring us awesome things like Facebook, Wordpress, Cloud9 IDE, and a whole slew of other amazing things. There's a catch, of course, and it has everything to do with bandwidth.
