How can a beginner developer ask for advices of specialist?
I am a beginner programmer. I'm studying for applied math specialist, but I'm not sure I'm on the right way. I mean, knowledge that is given us in university is a little bit out of date, and, it seems to me, that a lot of different universities all around the world have the same problem.
I know who I'm now - i'm a student of cybernetics faculty.
I know whom I'd wanted to be - a good developer.
The problem is that I see my goal, but I don't know how to reach it. I think that just a simple conversation with some successful code developer would help me - I'd like to listen, how did people become those whom I want to be. But I don't know how to find those people, how to contact them.

Can anyone help me, please?
