When I first started in the industry, the company I was working for had a consultant on a long-term contract. He had been there (the company) for many years before I had shown up.
It ended up that he mentored me during the first two years of my career. I was fairly new to programming and just beginning to learn Perl and Unix. He directed me in some software design practices, process documentation and how to take charge of the direction my career would take. This all happened by accident since there was no formal process for mentoring and we just seemed to 'click'.
It ended up that he helped me more than I could have imagined and we are still very good friends even though we no longer work together.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
