Hi I am trying to find some one to be my mentor and teach me programming as I work. I am a novice and dont have a formal education in programming but I do have some skills. I am actively reading these days but that leaves a void in learning. I am in new orleans right now. I am not sure how much time I can devote with my job I will ultimately leave my Job when I start to grasp things well and do it full time. I am MD by education and against resistance of my near dear one's I have decided to go into it. It would sound crazy to many but thats how I think. I want to do what I like and I like programming more than my medicine.
I am 32 and dont want to go through the traditional way by going to college. I had developed joomlaprodigy website (if someone knows that), which I sold last year because I was still keeping on to my medicine. Over this last year I have decided to switch now. I work in Tulane at the moment and as soon as I get better picture of my career possibilities I will go into learning programming full time. I hope to go into robotics related to medicine especially orthopedics field,( my post graduation) later. I will burn bridges on my back once I get the feeling that I can learn it to the extent I want to learn it. Please give me some suggestions on this and if someone can take me as his/her student.( I don't need any money to be paid) If someone think I am stupid for leaving a medicine career for programming, please dont write that. I have heard that from millions. Thanks Vik
