IRC !Welcome to the Squeak IRC channel!
Well, of course you're reading a webpage at the moment. But in theory you were referred here by the "#squeak" *IRC>http://www.irc.org/* channel at *Freenode>http://www.freenode.net* (logged at *http://ircbrowse.com* and *http://tunes.org/~nef/logs/squeak/*). There we discuss *Squeak>http://www.squeak.org*, an implementation of the *Smalltalk* object software system. Ask us any question about Squeak! We're especially interested in helping newcomers.
- Squeak has an IRC client *IRCe* written for it that is pretty straightforward and user friendly.
- If you don't know how to connect to an IRC server, you can access it *here, running as a java applet>http://bitquabit.com/squeakChat* inside your browser. If you need help finding an IRC client for your operating system or help setting one up to connect #squeak, feel free to ask once you're connected.
