EFNet #Winprog

#Winprog is the premier Windows Programming channel on the EFNet IRC network. The channel is comprised of professional software developers, talented college and highschool students, novice programmers seeking help and the usual charlatans and rogues that add character to the colourful world that is the Internet. If you are new to IRC, please visit the mIRC website.

Our primary focus is: C/C++ Programming with the Win32 API or MFC. We would be happy to field any questions or discussions relating to this, our primary reason for being. In addition, we will generally discuss the following, or variations thereof....

  • COM and ATL
  • C# and .NET
  • Winsock or sockets programming
  • Power computer usage, news, and high-tech gadgetry
