Product description
Amazon.com Review
The book is marvelously comprehensive, touching on aspects of IRC technology (such as IRC assistance for vision-impaired people and IRC clients for the Amiga computer) that have to do with only small parts of the community. He emphasizes things you'll want to do (selecting and connecting to a server, kicking out unwelcome users, and managing your own channel) and the tools and procedures you'll need to get them done. He's also big on commands (common and obscure), so if a task can be accomplished in IRC, you're likely to find out how in these pages. Though he doesn't really explain how to program your own bots, Charalabidis documents a few of the popular ones that already exist. --David Wall
Topics covered: Using and enjoying Internet Relay Chat (IRC), with emphasis on the software you need to get connected from a variety of platforms. Lots of space goes to IRC commands and their appropriate use, plus the ins and outs of IRC safety. There's coverage of more technical stuff too, including Client To Client Protocol (CTCP) and Direct Client Connection (DCC).

There's not much flash or glamour to be found in IRC or the tools to use with it. This book, however, is a great guide to IRC for those who need to know the nuts and bolts of whatever technology they deal with.
Though old, little in the technology or tools has changed since it was published in 2000.
It's an inexpensive and worthwhile addition to any techie's library or for anyone who is interested in enlarging their online social millieu.

The Author keeps you from boredom by throwing in lots of funny points, as well as mentioning other interesting points just slightly out of scope for the book. I would recommend for anybody. If you're a Newbie, this book is for you. If you are a hardcore IRC'er, this book is a great refresher.
