Title: There was an HN thread a few months back about autodidactic programmers, and many people said that one of the most important things for a developing programmer is to have a good mentor.<p>I think I&#x27;d really like a mentor.<p>Some things about me:
I&#x27;ve been coding for maybe a year, but I have a full time job so progress is not going as fast as maybe I&#x27;d like it to.<p>I&#x27;ve been doing Python (a very small amount of C# as well). I&#x27;ve read an intro book, and now I&#x27;m reading a book that goes into more depth with OO. I&#x27;ve solved the first 51 Project Euler problems, many of them with relatively elegant algorithms. I have a love for elegant algorithms.<p>I&#x27;m not sure what to do next.
Build a Django app?
Learn Java and build an Android app?
Learn Haskell?
Learn C?
Something else entirely?<p>I&#x27;m not locked into any particular field of programming yet - it all interests me.<p>If anyone feels like they would get any benefit out of mentoring someone like me, looking at my code and giving me pointers, giving me advice about what&#x27;s wise to learn, I&#x27;d really appreciate it.
