IRC
Is a free protocol
- Not owned by a company (proprietary)
- Anyone can write/distribute their own servers and/or clients.
A protocol is a social agreement upon a technical standard. A precise description that allows different people to write implementations (code) separately that should be able to interoperate (work together).
Afternoon: Chatbot
Local IRC
Exercise: Chatbot using Python and IRC, a code library released as free software
To use python we will be running our script from the command line.
some sample ideas:
- reversebot
- yesbot (agrees with everything *you* say)
- beavisbot (comments on anything suggestive)
