ICQ and other chat applications new-fashioned may get most of the press, but the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) remains the Wild West of real-time online conversations. Environment can intimidate newcomers, so Alex Charalabidis have written the Book of IRC, a good guide for products, procedures, and habits you need to understand in order to participate in the IRC. This book is amazingly comprehensive, touching on aspects of IRC technology (such as IRC assistance for those vision-interference and an IRC client for Amiga computers) that must be done with only a small part of the community. He also grew up in the command (general and unclear), so if the task can be achieved in IRC, you will know how on this page. Plenty of room to go to IRC commands and their proper usage, plus the ins and outs of IRC safety.
