Hello Hacker News,<p>I have been learning programming for 4 years now, primarily involved in the field of web development. Have some decent knowledge working with php, javascript, ruby, css and html.<p>I'm self taught. The main disadvantage of this is having unstructured and chaotic know-how.
After 4 years I decided to branch in a field of programming I don't know much about - Audio programming. My research concurs that I need a new set of tools, mainly revolving around C++
When I started programming I had a mentor. He is an experienced software engineer who eased my initial frustration with programming. I will be grateful for the rest of my life, he gave me a chance to learn.
What I'm saying is basically: When the student is ready, the master will come.<p>The time has come. Will YOU be my mentor? Share your audio programming knowledge.<p>No need to say I love music. Play the bass and love a solid groove!<p>Have a great day!
It's a pretty big area and there's plenty of open source projects in this space (and a decent crowd of people working on linux audio development).
I'd say a great way to learn a new domain is to help out existing open source projects (though I'm biased towards that as that's how I learned).<p>Let me know what you're specifically looking for (via a few examples if possible) and I might be able to direct you to some resources.
> Will YOU be my mentor?<p>Sorry, not knowledgeable enough. But if "written" music is your thing, you can check <a href="https://musescore.org/" rel="nofollow">https://musescore.org/</a> and try to ask someone on their forums?
