Hello,<p>I'm really interested in learning the basics of general programming. I'm functional at a basic level with CSS and HTML, but I'd like to learn a language such as Ruby. I've had a lot of software developed over the years, and I understand the process, but I've never actually gotten involved in the nuts and bolts.<p>I'd like to change that. I find I learn best when I can work with someone, ask questions, and interact.<p>I live in Japan, so it's difficult to do an official course, so I'm hoping to find someone who can spend maybe, 1-2 hours every couple of days with me, to help me out and teach me the basics of say, source control, and general coding over Skype.<p>In return, I'm open to ideas. I'm happy to pay, provide mentorship (I've built a reasonably successful company from the ground up with no capital), or I'm open to ideas.<p>Please drop me a line if you're interested in discussing this, and thanks for your time in reading this post.
