[NFBCS] Seeking mentor

Thu Dec 31 21:57:27 UTC 2020

I'd be interested in attending, assuming my schedule permits. I've done a lot in C, but that was a while ago, so I'm pretty rusty. I've taken some classes on C++ and done a bit with it, but I could definitely learn more. I've taught myself a bit of Python, but I'd love to learn more from a master, especially about those data types that you don't see in C or PERL.
