Not to be too self-promotional, but I built a site called HackerBuddy.com that could help you find a mentor (it's all free).

A lot of the advice here is about learning to code by building something for yourself, I completely agree with that approach. Pick a small web app that you'd like to build and try to build it yourself - when you get stuck, StackOverflow can usually help. I know that I learned much more by building something than I did being shown how to build something. And good luck!
