    I dont think this is a mentoring. Its more like two friends sitting together and coding same projects. If one get stuck, other help him out. If both get stuck than post on codeproject. It will also help in motivation department.

    I've never been a big fan of this approach because it's a very rare person who improves when they work just with people of the same level. There's no experience passed on. No one tells you that there are better ways to do it.

      If only there was a site that provided articles about all sorts of development topics catering to all levels. Maybe that could be your code buddy.

        Sounds like a circle-jerknerd. :rolleyes: As mentioned, such a group can only elevate its skill to the level of the highest member, so you definitely want to have someone with a lot more experience. Mentoring is a much better solution.

              Definitely, Mentoring is the best option. But, its not easy to find a good mentor. Plus, both of these things are different. Mentoring and having a codebuddy are two totally different scenarios.

                    Hmmm... Could be seen as a "Project", perhaps.

                    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                        No I don't think that would work! Code Project/Solution/Job/DooDad/Thingamajig or Buddy? I think buddy just describes the essence of what we're looking for here. :)

                          At some point, you need someone who knows more than you do to point out where you can do things better, and where you are going wrong.

                              I've already got one of those. Had her for more than 50 years now and she still knows more than I do.

                                At times two individuals of about the same level of learning can collaborate and work a problem out (even if its not in the same project). For instance, suppose your trying to implement some code that was published on "CodeProject" and its simply not working. Perhaps your code buddy has run into the same or a similar situation and can provide a clue as to how to implement that code. Or together you can figure out an implementation. It's kind a synergistic relationship. When your working alone and really struggling learning new concepts I suspect a code buddy could be a real asset.

                                  Hmm. Might be as well to remember that 'two heads are better than one' usually reduces to 'fools never differ'! And what happens when it turns out that one is a far faster learner than the other and is thinking of ways to improve the exchange of information between far space probes while his/her peer is still struggling to get an LED to light up every 20 seconds? No, it'll all end in tears. You mark my words!

                                      Language - ASP.NET, C# Level - Beginner What I want to accomplish - I want to learn ASP.NET MVC by following these online tutorials So, in essence, sam technology, different tutorial. I considered Python/Django, and most probably I will do it someday, but I figured I'd try MVC first. :)
