Description from the creator

In this JavaScript tutorial we'll walk through how to automate browser tasks, specifically we'll see how you can automatically follow and unfollow on LinkedIn as a case study.

The JavaScript code that we'll be writing can be used for the majority of browser automation tasks. Remember there are two key steps to building a script:

1. Selecting the page elements that you want to work with.
2. Looping over the elements and performing whatever task you want to run. In our example we clicked on each button.
