With the pending closing of Iron Yard, there will be a void (at least in my local area) for person-to-person instruction on Web Technologies.

As someone who has taught at a school and runs a learning platform, any ideas on how individuals can help fill the void?

Yeah! Some ideas:

  • Organize something small where you can help out and mentor a few students. Just meet at a coffee shop once a week and give them guidance.
  • Help out on Slack/IRC/StackOverflow - this is how I got my start
  • Look for someone who needs a mentor and just focus on them
