#davidwalshblog AJAX Chat

By  on  

I announced a few days ago that I had created the #davidwalshblog IRC chat room on Freenode so that my readers could get in touch with me and speak with other readers. That includes getting help, giving help, and discussing web topics.

Now you have no reason not to join! I look forward to seeing you!
