I'm looking for one-on-one mentoring (perferably face to face in or
around Reston VA) to teach me how to program in C++ by helping me
write a small midi sequencer. I am not looking for a class, I want a
one-on-one experience. I have the needed software.
I have a degree in computer science but have not written a full
program since college. I know programming basics and write small
scripts daily at work.

You might try craigslist.

Yeah, and he wanted to make a "small midi sequencer"... Yeah.. $5 wins
you a hello world. Less than minimum wage.

Just kidding.

I bet he wants someone to find out where he can find a tutor. The
question is worth $5 rather than it being a direct solicitation... I
hope.

Go to your local university and ask the computer science department. I
bet they'll  have someone to set you up with. If not, try a c++ forum
or a programmers chat. You may be able to get lessons online. Kinda
risky. Finding someone in your area online is difficult.

Hello

You can find lots of resources on internet to get your self into the
practice of c++ and you can find extensive links to the C++ resources
at http://www.go4expert.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107

Also if you want me to help you in C++ programming I can only do that
via email or Messengers as I am in India and face to face will not be
possible for me. If you wish to contact me the information is
available on the url mentioned above.

Thanks
