Back in the old read it days, I would browse the local meetup subs to join events and small social outings locally - but since I'm not using that platform anymore I'm a bit lost on find about local social gatherings. I would attend r posting of bar hopping, cinema groups, and park picnics around my town; however, I can't find a Lemming4Lemming (L4L) instances like there for my town through simple search. Anything like that here?

Unfortunately Selenium IDE is not the best way to practice selenium, according to most of the Youtube tutorials, since one is a scripting generator (from the UI recording) and the other is actually programming scripts (or lines of codes); which can be executed from terminals.

Additonally youtube tutorials are informative, but are passive learning since there aren't any applied practicals. Looking for recommendation of practicing selenium webdriver with a premade sandbox like websites that has sandbox for learning programming(e.g. Sololearn, W3schools, fcc, etc.).

Using the old one would be supporting spez? I need more access to learning resources and experiences; which is what I used to use "read it" for but have since been browsing the limited resources on the lemmy instances. Anyway to figure out if the answers to a certain question on one instance is in another instance?

What is the best way to learn Selenium, mainly the commands or syntax? Are there any practice sites like how there are for learning coding/programming?

 

Is it okay to use old.reddit.com or is using it still in support of spez?

 

Manual QA here want to start learning Test Automation. Coming from a non-tech background will make it a bit of a challenge but I'm looking to "test" myself.

Out of the three languages (Java, JS, Py), which should I focus on learning to get the best knowledge to apply when eventually using Selenium WebDriver?

I would like to comprehend all three later on in the future but for now which is the best to start off or continue with. Many have mentioned Python is beginner-friendly approach to learning programming and less stressful, but I see a lot of tutorials for Selenium webdriver being taught using Java, Also I heard JS is being implemented a lot more and more nowadays.
