For millennia, highly-skilled crafts have been taught in an apprenticeship model.

Technical skills, like web or mobile development, are no exception.

Very few possess the learning style and habits needed to truly self-teach a new craft.

Most require persistent mentorship from an experienced practitioner to facilitate their

skill development.
