Could someone explain to me how to create a simple IRC client. I understant how to use tcpclients and networkstreams for the most part. I just dont really understand IRC servers. Also could someone point me to a good server to test it on? Im not so much asking for code as I am asking for the steps for the client to connect to the server. What data should be sent as soon as the connection is established to verify my client?

The first link is confusing. And isnt the second link just a tcpclient and server? I understand connecting tcpclients and networkstreams. I just dont understand the commands to connect to an IRC server.
