Chat Tutorial

[crazymao]

PS: If someone knows a good tutorial on how to make a chat can you please show me? (this has nothing to do with the original question)

Heh, this vagueness is really getting to me. Do you regular answerers cope with this all day?

Anyway:

Define a chat program. (Apparently this may be a common term, I might just be behind the times) If possible give examples of chat programs.

@Icedtrees - all day, everyday (though it slows down on weekends)... every month, all year long... for years...

icedtrees brings up a good point...there are different kinds.... do you wanmt a php-based one for a website (or a js version?) or are you looking for a standalone kind? and do you want it p2p? or client-server style?

Well I hate to answer for him, but I believe he means he wants to learn how to make a simple messenger program that sends strings across the internet via a p2p/IP setup where one person inputs the other's IP and they begin a chat together (and I wouldn't mind a good easy to understand tutorial on the subject, myself).

That's what most of us newbies are eager to do when we first start getting interested in making internet applications in VB, so I assume that's what he wants. :P
