    TLDR for freenode registration is:
    1. Open an IRC client which is either https://webchat.freenode.net or install `hexchat` https://hexchat.github.io/ (note that the non-windows store version is free)

    ### For Hexchat
    2. Download hexchat
    2.1 On Linux hexchat should be packaged by your distribution so you can install it for example using `apt install -y hexchat`
    2.2 On windows use https://hexchat.github.io/downloads.html and download windows 7 executable which is free
    3. Open hexchat and navigate to Server List

    4. On server list find Freenode

    5. If you are not registered then press **Connect**.
    6. Register your account (as explained on https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration) by writing `/msg NickServ REGISTER YourPassword youremail@example.com` once invoked you will recieve instructions on your specified e-mail.
    7. (optional) if you have issue with the registration you can invoke `/join #freenode` and they will help you (don't be afraid to ask questions! :p)

    9. Invoke `/join ##csharp` and ask your questions! ^-^

    ### For Webchat
    2. Choose an unique nickname (red), complete captha (green) and press **START**

    3.1 If your nickname is already taken then invoke `/nick newNickname` and repeat step 3.

    6. Write `/join ##csharp` and ask your questions! ^-^

    also note that on hexchat you can store your credentials in

    which makes it so that you don't have to invoke `/nick yourNickname` and `/msg NickServ identify yourPassword` every time :p
