Hi @kapple, another resource you can try is this exact place in discourse. There’s a good friendly crowd of folks that really like the language and want to help others enjoy it too. I might be 50/50 in terms of asking for help vs helping others but I didn’t start there. Take a peak at Please read: make it easier to help you and ask away!
P.S. I don’t mean to discourage use of a mentor or other training, these resources are not mutually exclusive.
