商品描述

Description:

IRC ( Internet Relay Chat) may very well turn out to be the world's most successful hack. In 1988, Jarkko Oikarinen wrote the original IRC program at the University of Oulu, Finland. As he says in his foreword, "IRC started as one summer trainee's programming exercise. A hack grew into a software development project that hundreds of people participated in, and then became a worldwide environment where tens of thousands of people now spend time with each other. I have found many of my friends through IRC and learnt a significant part of my present software engineering knowledge while using and working with IRC. That would not have been possible without learning from code examples and hacks from others".

IRC has continued to grow in popularity since its inception. Millions of people from all over the world now use IRC to chat with friends, discuss projects and collaborate on research. With a simple, clearly defined protocol, IRC has become one of the most accessible chat environments, with clients written for a multitude of operating systems. And IRC is more than just a simple chat system it is a network of intercommunicating servers, allowing thousands of clients to connect from anywhere in the world using the IRC protocol.

While IRC is easy to get into and many people are happy to use it without being aware of what's happening under the hood, there are those who hunger for more knowledge, and this book is for them. IRC Hacks is a collection of tips and tools that cover just about everything needed to become a true IRC master, featuring contributions from some of the most renowned IRC hackers, many of whom collaborated on IRC, grouping together to form the channel #irchacks on the freenode IRC network (irc.freenode.net).

Like all of our Hacks books, there are many different ways to use IRC Hacks. You can read the book from cover to cover, but you might be better served by picking an interesting item from the table of contents and just diving in.

If you're relatively new to IRC, you should considering starting with a few hacks from each progressive chapter. Chapter 1 starts you off by showing you how to connect to IRC, while Chapter 2 acquaints you with the everyday concepts you'll need to use IRC effectively. Chapter 3 is all about users and channels, and introduces the first pieces of code. Chapter 4 shows you how to make useful enhancements to IRC clients.

Chapter 5 is where you will learn the basics about creating IRC bots, with Chapters 6-12 introducing more complex bots that can be used for logging, servicing communities, searching, announcing, networking, managing channels or simply for having fun. Chapter 13 delves into the IRC protocol in more detail, and Chapter 14 demonstrates some interesting alternative methods for connecting to IRC. Finally, Chapter 15 will move you on to new pastures by showing you how to set up your own IRC server.

This book presents an opportunity to learn how IRC works and how to make best use of some of the features that have made it the most successful, most scalable, and most mature chat system on this planet. IRC Hacks delves deep into the possibilities.

描述:
IRC(Internet Relay Chat)可能是世界上最成功的黑客之一。1988年,Jarkko Oikarinen在芬蘭奧盧大學編寫了最初的IRC程序。正如他在前言中所說,“IRC起初只是一個暑期實習生的編程練習。一個黑客成長為一個軟件開發項目,數百人參與其中,然後成為一個全球環境,成千上萬的人在其中相互交流。我通過IRC結識了許多朋友,並在使用和與IRC一起工作時學到了我現在的軟件工程知識的重要部分。如果沒有從他人的代碼示例和黑客中學習,這是不可能的。”自成立以來,IRC的受歡迎程度一直在增長。來自世界各地的數百萬人現在使用IRC與朋友聊天,討論項目並在研究上進行合作。IRC具有簡單明確的協議,成為最易於使用的聊天環境之一,並為多種操作系統編寫了客戶端。而且IRC不僅僅是一個簡單的聊天系統,它是一個互相通信的服務器網絡,允許數千個客戶端使用IRC協議從世界各地連接。雖然IRC很容易上手,許多人樂於在不了解內部運作的情況下使用它,但也有些人渴望更多的知識,這本書就是為他們而寫的。《IRC Hacks》是一本包含了幾乎所有成為真正的IRC大師所需的技巧和工具的集合,其中包括一些最著名的IRC黑客的貢獻,其中許多人在IRC上合作,組成了freenode IRC網絡(irc.freenode.net)上的頻道#irchacks。和我們的所有Hacks系列書籍一樣,《IRC Hacks》有很多不同的使用方式。您可以從頭到尾閱讀這本書,但是從目錄中選擇一個有趣的項目並直接深入研究可能更適合您。如果您對IRC相對新手,您應該考慮從每個逐步章節中選擇幾個技巧開始。第1章向您展示如何連接到IRC,而第2章則介紹了您需要有效使用IRC的日常概念。第3章涉及用戶和頻道,並介紹了第一批代碼。第4章向您展示如何對IRC客戶端進行有用的增強。第5章是您將學習有關創建IRC機器人的基礎知識的地方,第6-12章介紹了更複雜的機器人,可以用於日誌記錄,服務社區,搜索,公告,網絡,管理頻道或僅僅為了好玩。第13章更詳細地探討了IRC協議,第14章演示了一些有趣的連接到IRC的替代方法。最後,第15章將向您展示如何設置自己的IRC服務器。這本書提供了一個學習IRC工作原理以及如何充分利用一些使其成為地球上最成功、最可擴展和最成熟的聊天系統的功能的機會。《IRC Hacks》深入探討了各種可能性。
