LONELY IN LINUX: If you’re learning how to code on your own, you might want to take advantage of the “buddy system.” Coding Buddies is a community of independent code learners who schedule Google Hangouts to co-work silently on personal projects, or pair program help each other master tutorials. Membership is currently at about 1,000--and rising! (And while the site is technically geared towards adults, students over the age of 13 may want to set up their own Hangouts!)
