It has been very busy period. I am in the middle of my residency application, completing a book and many other interesting projects. Months ago when I was gathering the information about how to learn to code I e-mailed few programmers.
I got this idea that it may be useful to share some of the advice with you. So here is the first advice:
Thanks for writing to me. I think it may be difficult to get paid for small programming projects while you build up your expertise. I recommend contributing to open source projects as a way to build up expertise quickly. Given your medical background, are there any programming or system administration jobs at universities or medical facilities?
Some resources that might be helpful:
* A video tutorial on open source contribution
writing with the stethoscope 
That’ s a great resource! Thank you for sharing. I am also in your shoes and in the medical field. Learning to code has been a fun and challenging journey. Here is a resource page I put together to help others (as I’ve already done the research)!
