how do I make an IRC bot? - PabloDons - 10-04-2014
so I went through the whole code academy tutorial and learned what's there to know. Unfortunately nothing there explains connection to a server, event-driven programs or similar. may someone be so kind as to give me (or redirect me to) an explanation as to how to do this? I've searched around the internets but it usually expects me to know more about this than I do. I've only gone through writing to a file and reading from it.

You might want to read all this.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1459
It describes what messages you should send to an irc server to communicate with it.You don't have to implement all the commands listed, but just so you have them all. Some servers use RFC 2812 instead of 1459. You can find RFC 2812 here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812
you might also want to have a look at the q-bot source:

or maybe this tutorial can help:

Qwer did update Q-bot significantly after that post, here's a more recent version if there's interest in learning from it:
