Is there any place I can talk to on the phone and speak to someone about my coding questions? Somewhere I can contact and they could walk me through a few things?

I don't know of any company that offers this type of service (even if it does exist I don't imagine it would be free) but, really, talking on the telephone is probably the incorrect medium when it comes to programming.

Obviously if you are just looking for lecture with no visual aids, code samples, etc then it is a fine medium but being that you want to ask coding questions (thus I assume you have XYZ bit of code you are having problems with) forums like this are great for that. Obviously you do not have the instant feedback that you would with, say, a live chat but you are relying on the person you are talking to to have "all of the answers". On forums you have many different sets of eyes looking at a question and while one user may give you x answer, another user may come along and further expand on that answer thus giving you a more "complete" answer on your question.

Anyway, sorry for my rant there, but if you are looking for a live chat I would probably poke around IRC and see what you could come up with. The last time I was on the Yahoo chat rooms (years ago) the programming rooms were almost always occupied with trolls of varying degrees and it was rare that you would find someone who A) you could actually talk to on a reasonable level and B) someone that was able to actually answer your question.

The confessional? :-] (Sorry. Couldn’t resist...)
A therapist? :-] (Sorry. Couldn’t resist...)
An hourly-wage, house-call making plumber?
:-] (Sorry. Couldn’t resist...)

But what is it that you want to talk about? I mean, what are these “few things” you reference?
Some people who participate in answering here are not the best at getting their point across, but then there are others who will see that an answer is hard to follow, and will post an answer of their own to clarify.

Where are you? US? Canada? Australia? Chechnya? Could have quite a bearing on whether you would be able to talk to a given person...

Hey !

I am new to this forum, and I am very excited to get in touch... I was wondering for the same. I would like to send you my code and you can send me yours.
