IRC bot to get the daily free packt book

Primary LanguageGo

Synopsis

An IRC bot for monitoring the daily free book provided by Packt. Type '!packt' and the bot will say the current free book's title.

I mostly wrote this to get practice using Go. No warranty is expressed or implied.

Installation

go get github.com/muraiki/packtbot
go build github.com/muraiki/packtbot
go install github.com/muraiki/packtbot

Create a packtbot.yaml (see sample in this repo) and configure the bot's name, the channel it will join, and the server it will join. To use a secure server, use field secureserver instead of server.

Once you have a packtbot.yaml, run packtbot from the same directory.
