Chicago Python Workshop/Chicago Python Workshop 1/IRC

Chatting during the workshop
We've set up an IRC channel (chat room) on Freenode where people can discuss the class and post questions and resources.

server: irc.freenode.net

channel: #chipyshop

If you don't know how to use IRC, you can just click on this link to a web chat interface. It will take you to a page where you can sign in to the chatroom.

Installing an IRC client: Optional!
IRC is a real-time chat protocol that open source projects often use to talk about the project and as a medium for users and developers to help each other. IRC clients have a nicer user interface than the webchat interface, so you might want to try them out. This is optional. Here are some pages that explain how to install clients.
