An apprenticeship would be great for you. My company offers them we haven't done remote before but I'm willing to give it a go. Drop me an email josh@seriousfox.co.uk
I'm the business co-founder of a startup in Japan called MakeLeaps. Co-incidentally, I run the Hacker News Tokyo meet-ups with my co-founder Paul.
I'd be interested to learn some programming (enough to be dangerous) perhaps by working on a small project with someone who is willing to help me out and teach me.
In return, I'm happy to talk about anything/everything I know about business/marketing/sales/product/validation.
I think I'd really excel with the help of a programming mentor. I would provide a huge amount of input, ideas, effort and enthusiasm in exchange for a weekly Q&A session to keep me confident that I'm progressing on the right track.
I've studied CS & understand the concepts. I can read and tweak existing code but I struggle with getting to a point where the correct syntax just flows.
Any tips on how to get out of the books and into a productive zone? I want to learn how to put things in place to start a web application from scratch.
I've clicked most with Python but am open to diving other languages.

I'm enrolled in a small online program called thinkful and what they do is interview you and create a custom curriculum based on your preexisting knowledge. A few people that are looking for structure and those willing to mentor might want to simply give that format a shot. In short, basically the mentor would find resources on the web to match exactly what the student is looking to learn. Then if the student has any questions they can just email them. If it seems like more is required then gradually work it out. It might seem alienating on the part of the student but I've found in my own learning situation I'm really just looking for order in and of itself more than a mentor. Having people to bounce questions off of is very important, but if you have a path to follow they become secondary to your personal drive regardless.
I can mentor someone. Background in maths/physics/CS. I've done bioinformatics, machine learning, data mining, mathematical modeling, SQL/NoSQL, computational physics, and front/back end web dev. I prefer python, but I also know java and c well, and I kind of know perl/php/ruby/lisp. I've used Flask, pylons, django, ruby on rails, node.js, and meteor.
I am working in Java/JEE Enterprise domain and will be glad to help someone to spread what I have learned in Java domain. No background required, just a hunger to learn the things..

I am working on a new product and have been teaching myself to program while building the site. I'm dying to learn more but am having trouble doing it on my own.
I would love to have someone act as a mentor and help me learn Web basics. I'm super motivated. Thank you for posting this thread!
I've been learning python from Udacity and earlier from Think Python. I'm in Ottawa, but I would like to learn/work remotely on a project if anyone's interested.
I'm also looking for a mentor but in Marketing/Communications field. Especially if you're in a SMB and you are the sole person for that department, it can get really tough to advance yourself. Of course you can self-teach by reading articles but as many of you mention, it's more motivating to bounce ideas off of someone experienced in the field. Are there mentor programs like Thinkful but for business/management related people?
