A Great Tool For Testing Web Applications
Selenium is a great tool for testing web applications. It can be found at www.seleniumhq.org. It is free, and can be used as a Firefox plugin.
My first use...
....it helped me out with testing.
I had to test a web application, and our company decided to try out Selenium for web testing. Selenium was very easy to use.
First it was easy to install because it is just a Firefox extension which can be retrieved from mozilla.org. Just install it into Firefox and restart the browser.
When using it, I started with the recording feature. When you start recording, it records your interaction with a web page in terms of Selenium events. You can then save these as test cases to be run later.
Selenium was useful to me because it allowed me to test my web application more easily because I was able to use a Selenium script to get my web application to a certain state before testing manually. It also allowed me to write test cases to prove that UI bugs were fixed.

Google Maps Selenium Tests
...study the work of some of the masters of Selenium.
Google apparently uses Selenium to test Google Maps. Now this is really cool because Google Maps uses some pretty complicated AJAX, DOM manipulation, and graphics.
There is a list of examples and a list of general tests.
Point your browsers at these URLs and run the suites. The Selenium test window will appear in a frame in your browser, and the actual site is at the bottom of the browser. You will then be able to see what they do in the Selenium language in order to drive the Maps apps.
They have also published the code for both of these at Google Code.

The Selenium API
Learn it.
If you want to succeed with Selenium, you have to know the Selenium API. The description can be found at http://seleniumhq.org/projects/core/reference.html. This is a starting point for learning what you can do with Selenium.
As you learn Selenium, learn what you can do with the API. The more you go back and forth between the API and your Selenium test cases and scripts, the better your understanding will become.

Selenium as a Service
...another example of SaaS?
It looks like Sauce Labs has come up with a hosted Selenium service. This is cool. Once you get to the point where you drive regression tests for your web application with Selenium, it is nice to know that you don't have to set up a huge infrastructure to do it.
This is worth considering when you get far enough into using Selenium as a part of your tool chain for developing web applications.
