The #angularjs IRC channel on freenode.net is a great way to get real-time responses.
Advice for getting help via IRC:
- Have a relatively specific question to ask.
- If possible, demonstrate your issue using Plunker or JSFiddle.
- Pick "prime time" hours to ask (Mid-afternoon to evening, EST works well for me.)
- Don't pop in, ask a question, and leave 2 minutes later when someone doesn't answer immediately. Most of us only check IRC periodically.
