Live on-line tutoring / mentoring / help

Don M

I had thought about an idea where someone that needs help with some code might be able to look to for live assistance. Now I understand what most of you may be thinking in that one can post code on the forum for help but consider this:

1. What if you don't want the whole world to see your code or idea?
2. What if what you have for a test setup would be easier to show or share live one on one rather that trying to explain it to the masses or ship a test fixture to someone that may be interested in helping?
3. Any changes in code could be instantly realized and shared or viewed.

This could be done using Skype where on can converse live and share live screen views as the code is being tested. This could be done on a "pay per hourly" or "pay per event" type basis using PayPal. Or someone could "trade" or "barter" for help. Maybe one person is great in designing a circuit etc and the other is good at programming.


Maybe even Parallax themselves might consider such a service offering?

Just an idea here....

There may be those willing to offer private consulting for pay (and there's nothing wrong with that), but I would guess that the majority of us (including myself) are more intent upon spreading the benefit of any help we offer to as many people as possible. That's the reason I almost always answer emailed queries with, "Post it on the forum, and I'll try to answer it there."
