Thanks to Manish for pointing the need of a post out.

  • Clients
  1. irssi Command line client
  2. xchat (Gui)
  3. mibbit.com (browser based, ION users will probably need to use this. ##C has blocked mibbit though :| )

The above mentioned clients should be present in the repos of the Linux distro you use.

  • Commands
  1. Beginner commands
  2. Advanced commands

Googling for “IRC commands” or “IRC tutorial” will gove you all the info you need to get started.

  • Channels you should start roaming around on : #linux, ##C , #python etc.

There are a lot of helpful and knowledgable people on these channels and you can clear your doubts etc. here. Do not hesitate to ask them thinking,”Should I??”. Just ask and they’ll help you out.

Again, please google to find more channels.

Our main focus will be to promote Open Source Technology for Web Development and Design. This workshop can be viewed as Workshop no 1 covering Module 1 of the total web design workshops we intend to hold.

The content material for this workshop will be basic HTML for getting a start to web programming. The basics of this tagged language can be learnt at W3Schools. We will then advance to the basics of server side and client side scripting and the differences between them. Client side scripting has been put in Module 2 (next workshop) of the whole web design workshop from LUG Manipal.

PHP is the choice of language for Server side Web Design. Those who don’t know much about this language better pay attention. People usually ask “What is PHP? Is it as powerful as ASP?”. Well! Its much more powerful than ASP frankly. You need to know both the languages before comparing them and just making guesses is a bad habit. To make you feel comortable, we would like to tell you that it is one of the most widely deployed technology of these times. Some of the most famous places where its used is Wikipedia, WordPress (most famous blogging software), most of the Content Management System. Even Google and Yahoo make use of PHP for their pages.

Now turning to MySQL, this is the most widely deployed database software which has more than 5,000 downloads per day as the statistics revealed by MySQL AB. Being the world’s most famous Open Source Database, its bound to be quite attractive. Being a very lightweight database software, its easy to install even on desktops. People usually have a bad experience after installing Oracle as their systems get badly screwed up with reguard to speed. Its very small in size (some 150-200MB) instead of Oracle which is of some 2GB.

The scripting will be done on Apache Web Server, its the world unchallenged king when it come to server deployments, covering some 70%of the webservers. Lightweight, extensibility , great features make it the no 1 choice of web developers all over the world.

More Details of the workshop is:

  • Venue: NLH 204
  • Time: 5:30PM
  • Starts: 25th March Tuesday to 28th March, Friday
