Hey,
I have read in various answers by highly influential programmers is to find a mentor. I wanna know how to find a mentor? I'm interested in mostly developing web applications (both front-end and back-end).
A little background, I will be finishing my Bachelors in Computer Science in a month and currently based in India. I have been programming in Python, Java and C# mostly.
Thanks!
You develop a relationship with a person who has more experience than you do, and over time, that person may become a mentor to you. And I say may, because if the person you're working with determines that you don't provide any value to the relationship, they won't be that willing to help you for long.
I say this from experience - lots of people want me to mentor them, and I've had quite a few that, once they got their first job, they just disappeared.
I'm a lot more picky about which college students I mentor now.
