#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!

    AJAX For Evil: Spyjax with jQuery

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

  2. David Walsh

    @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/

    Good news everyone. I’ve fitted the site with an Ajax IRC chat client: http://davidwalsh.name/chat

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