This was a tutorial on how to easily connect to an IRC network. I myself use a completely different client that is a bit more advanced. If you feel like taking it to the next level, take a look at Irssi and Weechat.
For some basic IRC commands check out this wiki.
Thanks! this is how a easy tutorial should be. Easy to read and easy to understand. I’m interested about irssi and I know there are tons of tuts out there about it but your tuts are easy to understand. Do you mind writing one for irssi when you have time?
Thanks dragon :] I can write a tutorial for irssi in a few days. I’m a bit busy for the moment.
