New Tutorial: How to Write an IRC Client in JavaScript

July 2nd, 2008 by Frank Salim

There is a new tutorial for Orbited 0.5 explaining how to write an IRC client with no server-side code! This is a good introduction to using TCPSocket for implementing clients for other protocols.

    Hi, this tutorial is no longer available. Why? ;)

    Thanks, Bernhard

    Bernhard: That tutorial had been moved into the old docs section because 0.6 changed the API slightly (TCPSocket.js was integrated into Orbited.js, for example). I fixed the link, and while you can’t follow the tutorial exactly, it should still give you a decent idea of the steps involved. Also, the updated IRC client and HTML file are included with Orbited 0.6.1 as IRC2.js and the chat demo, respectively, so you can check out the source. Hopefully we’ll have time to update the tutorial.
