I love this site - as a recent coding n00b (see http://www.7bks.com/blog/179001 http://www.7bks.com/blog/179001) having mentors around is invaluable. Whether it's just offering advice or actually helping you write some jquery having someone to bounce ideas off is essential. I really hope this gains critical mass so that everyone uses it and it becomes a hub for finding casual mentors.
- mbesto 16y agoTom - I saw you speak at the London HN meetup last week and your work was very inspirational. I've always been a business guy in the tech industry but never actually coded anything (i've reversed engineered some php in joomla, but nothing crazy). I'm in the process of putting together an app for my squash group so people can add their matches and view standings. I did the Python tutorials from Google as well and have spent some time learning django. Also, StackOverflow has also been extremely helpful, especially given that I'm such a noob at this. For example, one of my questions was so basic about the ORM that after I found out the solution I felt like such an idiot.
