Where can I find a good tutorial? I joined a program that uses IRC to
communicate, but I was born after IRC fell out.
reddit / irc

What do you need help with?

I have a learning disorder, I have trouble figuring advanced programs
on my own. Stuff with lots of numbers(like ports and stuff) are
especially intimidating.The interface is just...intimidating. I just
need a good tutorial I can click through.

Wikipedia has some info:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IRC/Tutorial

Here's a more detailed tutorial using Hexchat (a good client available
on all OSes):

Thanks. I bought a client to use but I can’t remember which one it is
at the moment

Probably mIRC? It is paid, iirc, and is(was?) the most popular client.

If you are connecting to freenode, you can use their
[webchat](https://webchat.freenode.net/) .

I wasn't aware IRC fell out.

Well, I mean, it wasn’t the main thing by the time I was old enough to
use the internet.

I don't think it's available on OSX (anymore)

You can check quassel [https://quassel-irc.org](https://quassel-
irc.org/downloads) it's easy to use and you can look up some tutorials
on yt how to set it up.

Everything you ever wanted to know, and then some, right here:

[http://books.gigatux.nl/mirror/irchacks/059600687X/toc.html](http://b
ooks.gigatux.nl/mirror/irchacks/059600687X/toc.html)

Nothing pertinent has changed in the protocol since this book was
published, and for more current information on any clients, etc., you
can visit the sites/repos for those projects.

I personally recommend Wechat - you can run it anywhere and connect it
to anywhere, as well as connect to it from anywhere, but TheLounge is
really good stuff too.

Regardless, you can pick and choose from material in the various
chapters that you're interested in getting up to speed with quickly,
so keep it handy, and of course, you can also read the book cover to
cover if you like, but there's certainly many topics you won't care
much about, like writing bots.... at least in the beginning ;)

I hope that helps :)
