How important is it to have a mentor to become a strong developer?
sidmitra: You don't really need a mentor to start. You just need to dive in and start building something you like. Also, stop being a perfectionist and following tutorials front to back. Google is your mentor.If you really get stuck, there are mailing lists, IRC chat rooms, message boards out there specific to that topic. Explore them fully, don't be afraid to ask a question. But before you ask, make sure you've made some effort to find an answer.
