The first chapter covers very clearly how yo get your environment up and running, and also show you how to bring your first capybara/cucumber/selenium automated scenario to life.
The second will tell you everything you need to know in order to get started with the capybara API: Navigation, form filling, finding elements, and validations.
Next follows a nice explanation of rack testing, analog to headless testing, when to use it and fail fast and when to bring up the selenium big guns, for javascript and client side heavy apps.
Then you are presented with an important guide on how to deal with JavaScript asynchronous calls, html5 objects, and the importance of exposing a test or debug api.
Last but not least, in the juicy "Ninja" chapter there are instructions on how to use Capybara outside the Rails world, implementing its DSL in another frameworks, configuring and knowing different flavour of drivers, page object pattern and so on.
In conclusion, this is an EXCELLENT book with capital letters. All you need to know to start digging into the Capybara world with an excellent guide. THUMBS UP!

This is a good introduction to Capybara and acceptance testing.
There are several good points:
1. It covered testing JavaScript
2. Easy to follow by a beginner in Ruby as instructions for installation are clear
3. It mentioned different drivers but was largely focused on Selenium
4.It mentioned the "Page Object Pattern" which kind of improves how we write tests (with some tradeoffs however)

Great introduction to Capybara. Very didactic book and filled with good examples. Even not knowing much about Ruby, it was easy to learn the content and start using Capybara in real projects.
