I am mentioning this from past experiences. In order to learn anything you need a goal as to what you are going to make, especially with programming.

After doing a couple of tutorials in programming you will notice that you now know a whole bunch of little things, but what I see in most people that try to program for the first time is that after tutorials they ask themselves: how does it fit in the big picture? How do I program something complex like a social network with these primitives?

I would recommend that you set out a challenge as to what you would like to build, do research as to what you need, google what languages/frameworks etc. are best suited for the job and start programming bit by bit..

Best of luck!

Another question, if I do have skills what are a good way to show a porfolio of skills? What does a average coder charge? is it done per hour or project?

It's usually not a flat rate or anything but you have to be competitive with your prices... For starters you should do what I do and offer free coding/tips accepted. FYI, If you aren't artistic don't get into front end web design too much. Go for backend, it's more fun.

\Not artistsic, what languages do I learn for backend?

if you are alone...
i mean in your activity,
learning language it is noth enough...
if you plan to develop application with basilar complexity,
you need to learn DB, SQL, apache...
and then python, php, javascript, html, css jquery...
and other little things!!!!

Whom should I talk to regarding mentors?

Depends what you wanna learn first, do you want to learn HTML? Which I reccomend, I can help you out a bit there... You could also ask on the services section I guess.

Looks like HTML/CSS is the best place to start, so yeah sure.

PHP, Python, node.js... You should still learn HTML first for these though. But no wysiwyg shit, that won't help you at all... Stay away from those.

What type of coding depends on what you want to do.

I can tell you for certain that all the big companies have a high demand for python right now.
