I don't have a mentor or anything. I am doing CS next year but I went to 
school and did IT there (I am almost done with school). I recommend 
watching some computer science videos (like one on the fundamentals, 
binary, etc.) and then things start to make more sense (atleast for me).

Also, this is a good place to ask for help and along with the IRC 
channel (#d on irc.freenode.net).
