Welcome to BleepingComputer, a free community where people like yourself come together to discuss and learn how to use their computers. Using the site is easy and fun. As a guest, you can browse and view the various discussions in the forums, but can not create a new topic or reply to an existing one unless you are logged in. Other benefits of registering an account are subscribing to topics and forums, creating a blog, and having no ads shown anywhere on the site.
Current features are connecting, sending the IDENT response back to the server speeding up connection time(dropped that one again there Andrew ;)), basic handling of JOIN, Part, PRIVMSG etc. This should allow any new programmer to quickly grasp how to handle IRC server events. Can also switch from how a client should look to RAW server data.
One of the main reasons i left it so basic was because new programmers like to keep an existing project and work up from that. Copying and pasting is not programming but i feel a new programmer can keep this base and build up from that with out to much hassle or using an already written client.
The client can be viewed here and the Vb source can be downloaded here
This is only a tiny extract from the original source and may have bugs. Was not tested but should provide you with a good start.
The c# source will follow shortly.
