Irc and Coding

General Discussion Started Last reply 11 posts
Hey guys, bit out of the usual subjects here, but this is at least a general discussion thread ^^

Im just wondering if there are any IRC channels out there with some active and newbie friendly persons who happens to kick [censored] at coding? :D

I could use some guidance in my newly started coding career.

Thanks!
What language?
C as it is now =)
i assume he means scripting (kinda bastardized c+ i think)
best bet is to google one of the many irc script sites and download and view whatever you can get your hands on

dont bother joining a scripting channel and asking for help cause i can tell you from experience they dont seem to like that ><
Yea, Ive heard that they usually arent very happy about noobs, but come on, you gotta learn sometime...

Its very standard coding in text in C language. But Im going to university, and I just wanna learn. Faster, easier and more fun to speak with people than browsing through 3454222 pages of google :)

or reading the book for that matter!

<.< I don't like reading my text books. I haven't read half of them, and the ones I have read was just to find the answers. :eek:
Yea, omg... the book I have at the moment is a utter disaster... Extremely bad layup.
I'm confused, are you talking about writing apps in C or writing IRC scripts?

If it's the latter, I've been scripting in mIRC for nearly 10 years, so drop me a line if you need some pointers. In terms of C for apps/dlls etc, sorry, not a clue.
I think the goal is to find a IRC channel about scripting with the C language (which is friendly to noobs).

On that note, this seems to be the wrong place for this post, seems more suited for "Off Topic" as this forum is for "General Discussion" about l2.
C have never been a friendly do noobs, secondly it's neither a script language, Java, Java Script, Phyton and so on is script languages on other hand.

Myself wouldn't recommend learning C in the end, it's a very old and dated language right now, put your time into C++ rater I would say, if you ever need to code in C you most likely will have no problem after learning C++ anyway.

As for IRC channels, most peoples don't like being messed around with stuff like that, your better of finding some C/C++ oriented forums and ask questions there.

Anyhow I recommend this board: http://cboard.cprogramming.com/ but keep in mind that you 100% follow there guidelines before you make a post or you won't be long lived there.
Ayea, its about finding a irc channel with people who knows how to code/script whatever you want to call it. And who are friendly to noobs ^^

There is a off topic place? ^^ lol, I just now saw it when you mentioned it, never seen it before, haha!
