Sounds like a circle-jerknerd. 
As mentioned, such a group can only elevate its skill to the level of the highest member, so you definitely want to have someone with a lot more experience.
Mentoring is a much better solution.

Definitely, Mentoring is the best option. But, its not easy to find a good mentor.
Plus, both of these things are different. Mentoring and having a codebuddy are two totally different scenarios.

Are you sure he's ready to be a mentor?

Wouldn't the person who wrote the tutorial be the mentor in this case?

Why? Server-side web apps are dinosaurs. Learn how to write SPA's using things like backbone, jQuery, knockout, whatever. But don't waste your time on ASP.NET, Razor, or really anything else that Microsoft has done web-wise. Sure, use C#, that's great, but that's about it. Heck, don't even use IIS.

This is the kind of mentoring I like.

At times two individuals of about the same level of learning can collaborate and work a problem out (even if its not in the same project). For instance, suppose your trying to implement some code that was published on "CodeProject" and its simply not working. Perhaps your code buddy has run into the same or a similar situation and can provide a clue as to how to implement that code. Or together you can figure out an implementation. It's kind a synergistic relationship. When your working alone and really struggling learning new concepts I suspect a code buddy could be a real asset.

Hmm. Might be as well to remember that 'two heads are better than one' usually reduces to 'fools never differ'! And what happens when it turns out that one is a far faster learner than the other and is thinking of ways to improve the exchange of information between far space probes while his/her peer is still struggling to get an LED to light up every 20 seconds?
No, it'll all end in tears. You mark my words!

Language - ASP.NET, C#
Level - Beginner
What I want to accomplish - I want to learn ASP.NET MVC by following these online tutorials
So, in essence, sam technology, different tutorial. I considered Python/Django, and most probably I will do it someday, but I figured I'd try MVC first.

It's been one of "those" days... 
Hence:
You should only drink on days that start with a “T”: “Tuesday”, “Thursday, “Thaturday”, “Thunday”, “Today”, and “Tomorrow”
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'll drink to that!

Given that the average human can die of thirst within two days, I've always thought it best not to take chances.

There are only two situations when it's ok to drink:
- When you are with people
- When you are alone

Apologies for it inevitably being a Leslie, but first I heard of her:

Yeah right? Especially considering the year. Must've been challenging for women in those jobs. Here are some more (not sure if it's a Leslie): http://modernnotion.com/human-computers-broke-barriers-women-science/[^]

Quite the legacy! She is even credited with coining the term "Software Engineering", which is a term that is on my business card today... And I had never even heard of her. Fascinating story -- thanks for posting!

Might need to ask Leslie whether or not he's seen it.
