#davidwalshblog on IRC

David Walsh - IRC

I've had some great experiences on the #mootools and #cakephp IRC chat rooms. I've gotten help when I've desperately needed it and have been able to return the favor by giving tips to others. With that spirit in mind, I've created the #davidwalshblog IRC chat room.

Join Chat Download Pidgin

My audience is very diverse so expect to see topics in #davidwalshblog ranging from MooTools to jQuery to PHP to CSS and so on. Please sign on any time you'd like! If you need help or feel like helping others, #davidwalshblog will be a great place to do so. Of course you'll see me quite a bit, but you may even see special guest drop-ins like CSS-Tricks' Chris Coyier, Eric Wendelin, Christoph Pojer, and other Moo devs.

I will act as moderator along with super-helpful #mootools room members Garrick Cheung and Jabis. A special thanks to both of them. Remember, however, that when you need help with difficult MooTools issues, be sure to hit #mootools as well!

So why wait? Join the fun now! And if you don't have an IRC client, please support Pidgin!

    fetch API

    One of the worst kept secrets about AJAX on the web is that the underlying API for it, XMLHttpRequest, wasn't really made for what we've been using it for.  We've done well to create elegant APIs around XHR but we know we can do better.  Our effort to...

    Send Email Notifications for Broken Images Using MooTools AJAX

    One of the little known JavaScript events is the image onError event. This event is triggered when an image 404's out because it doesn't exist. Broken images can make your website look unprofessional and it's important to fix broken images as soon as possible.

    No one likes a spoiler.  Whether it be an image from an upcoming film or the result of a football match you DVR'd, sometimes you just don't want to know.  As a possible provider of spoiler content, some sites may choose to warn users ahead...

    Just a note, the links should not contain the # when linking to an IRC channel.

    @Robbo: Updated — thank you!

    You know what Dave? You should hold something like a weekly class or so (Like Chris’s Classes “screencasts”) in the IRC Channel. You, Garrick, or Jabis could tutor the audiences! And you can announce the next class here in the blog, or even make a poll for what the next class’s topic should be! What’cha think?

  4. Langel

    For those of us already on IRC you should state what server all these channels are on! ;D/

Wrap your code in <pre class="{language}"></pre> tags, link to a GitHub gist, JSFiddle fiddle, or CodePen pen to embed!
