Hi, I am an International grad student in US and currently working in NLP. I have several publications to my name and got a fully-funded MS offer. I have completed 1 semester and have been lurking in HN for a year now.

1. Is there any free mentorship program that I can take help from? Someone who can help me with information about things I should do and learn.

2. Any free bootcamps in ROR/Django/web and app development etc? Virtual bootcamps as well.

3. What things should I learn to become eligible for web development jobs in top companies 1.5 years later?

4. Is there any special facility in Texas (Dallas area) I can take advantage of.

Please help.

I am currently working through the book of Google Resume, algorithms, pro-git etc.
