IRC works quite well, why rock > the boat with new and hard to use and not available to everyone stuff? There is a number of good reasons for that. IRC does not allow the same mean of interaction and flexibility, especially when it comes to sharing screens or showing stuff in a whiteboard. Also, speaking in person in much faster and allows for more detailing. Last but not least, I don't really understand the point of availability and "new and hard to use". In general, G+ hangouts or $conferencesolution is what gets closer to a real "classroom", and people were happy about it, modulo the fact of the limit of the followers. Now that the technology has evolved I see close to no reason for not using it. > > On 30/07/2012, Dario Freddi wrote: >> Hey everyone, sorry for top-posting and being late, I was offline >> during the last days. >> >> As I already told Lydia, I am available for a coding tutorial, >> preferably via G+ Hangout or similar.
