So if you are a non-technical HNewser who wants to start hacking, I want to help you. The idea is that we'll figure out what you want to learn, then three times a week we'll correspond via email. And over time, you'll learn technical skills -- and more importantly, I'll help you learn how to learn technical skills.

What to expect from me:

  - Help choosing learning materials
  - Answers to your questions.
  - Help coming up with projects (homework!)
  - Comments on the work you do
  - Commitment for 30 days, then we'll reevaluate

  - PHP
