EFNet #Winprog

#Winprog is the premier Windows Programming channel on the EFNet IRC network. The channel is comprised of professional software developers, talented college and highschool students, novice programmers seeking help and the usual charlatans and rogues that add character to the colourful world that is the Internet.
