In the summer of 2014, I was opportune to learn about the on-line
(IRC-based) sessions being organized by a local community of Python
programmers in the Durgapur area of India, the Durgapur Linux Users Group
<https://dgplug.org/>
Being an enthusiast, I immediately filled out the registration form, and
joined the classes as scheduled. It was a really profound and rewarding
experience for me, as it truly deepened my knowledge in the Python
programming language.
Seeing as the program benefited quite a number of burgeoning developers, I
would like to suggest that we organize something of that sort here in
Nigeria as well.
Some benefits of doing this on IRC include:
- Savings on data usage as IRC is text-based, and obviously quicker
communication time.
- Everyone can be connected using almost any device, since there are
also IRC clients on smartphones.
- People learn how to use IRC in the process. IRC is essential for
getting on-demand help on lots of topic areas.

Following this, two questions stand out:
1. *Can we have an IRC Channel?*
2. *Can we organize such an IRC-based class?*
