Hi Friends, Marco here. I’m a ruby/rails dev myself and I was wondering if you’re interested in taking a new web developer under your wing for 1 hour per week.
Here’s the gist: Me and a few other developers are running the FirehoseProject <http://www.thefirehoseproject.com/> - a 12 week mentor driven online coding program to train the next generation of web developers. Our code mentors take a student under their wing for 12 weeks, pair program with them for one-hour per week and guide them towards their personal coding goal. Throughout each week, students work on building several web applications (think Yelp and Udemy clones), solve real-world coding challenges (traversing trees, linked lists, etc.), build a web app through TDD and join a group project to build a chess game as a team. *Our mentors are senior web devs* with experience from *PayPal, eBay, Product Hunt, Flickr, bit.ly, **Techstars & Y-Combinator companies,* and get excited by seeing a beginner grow into a proficient developer who's able to solve complex CS challenges. You can see what some of our students are saying about us here <http://www.quora.com/Reviews-of-theFirehoseProject> and find more info about what our mentors are doing here <http://www.thefirehoseproject.com/mentor-jobs>. Are you interested in taking a new web developer under your wing?
