IRC

Last week we were introduced to using an IRC client. It was an interesting experience as it was quite hectic with the number of people that were included in the chat. A “regular” chat session consists of much fewer participants, making it quite a different experience. It took some time to get used to the chaos, but after a few minutes it was easier to follow the conversations in the chat room. IRC seems as though it can be a very useful tool to communicate with people all around the world to discuss various topics regarding Computer Science projects that one may be working on. It allows for communication among programmers in a manner that is very straight-forward and easily accessible.
