An IRC Connection: Implementation and Bot
(30 Minutes)
By: Aaron Brady
Slides Link
IRC is a protocol for text exchanges with multiple recipients with publish/subscribe capabilities. A basic program that interacts with an IRC server is easy to make, but becomes more difficult with additional functionality. The task involves a few domains: sockets, parsing, and a multi-way mapping object for the state. We take a look at 4 custom modules to get it done: Multi-connection dispatch, Raw to dict, Connection model, and Relation; plus one for "main" for the bot itself.

By: Malcolm Newsome
Often developers get too attached to the code that they write. So much so that we dread losing it. But, what happens when you intentionally delete code and rewrite it? You might be surprised at the result.
