Find a Mentor

Role of the mentor

This course is a virtual guide, but the most successful programmers will have a real-life guide for the journey too. Such a guide or mentor will provide wisdom and counsel for us on our first programming job.

The mentor’s role is to do the following:

• Help us when we get stuck on the job. They’ve been programming long enough to have great problem-solving and debugging chops, so even when they don’t know all the answers, they can point out the next steps we should take.
