Cadence Learn is a free, plain-English path from a blank computer to shipping real projects — built for people who were never told this was for them. No prior experience. No jargon left unexplained. Just the exact steps, in order, with an AI mentor beside you the whole way.
Each module is a self-contained, copy-and-paste guide. Do them in order — you only ever need the one you're on. More are on the way; the first is live now.
Terminal, Git & GitHub, free Supabase & Cloudflare accounts, and your AI mentor "Ada" — connected and doing the work for you. A true one-time setup.
LiveWhat actually happens between typing an address and seeing a page — clients, servers, requests, APIs. The mental model, in plain English.
LiveFrom an empty folder to a real web page that's yours — saved to GitHub and, if you like, live on the internet. Built by talking to Ada.
LiveThings break — that's the job, not failure. How to stay calm, read the clue, and get unstuck every time.
LiveA short, opinionated map of what actually matters early — and what you can safely ignore until later.
In developmentHow Cadence pairs new builders with someone a few steps ahead — plus a guide for mentors who want to help.
In developmentOne of my missions as founder of Cadence is to enable as many young adults as possible to get into software development. Not someday, and not only the ones who already had a laptop and a family friend in tech — anyone willing to start. This is where we hand you the keys.
Never written a line of code. That's exactly who each guide is written for — nothing is assumed.
You learn by doing, on your own schedule. Copy, paste, run, understand — then move on.
Helping someone start? Hand them the path and let the guides carry the how, so you can carry the encouragement.
