Where to start from a non-developer to developer?

Hi guys, I’m a huge fan of the community, have high ambitious goals within the blockchain of cardano.

When I went to the Cardano communal event, I noticed no-one could point me to the right direction/space besides here for help.

I’ve never developed, but I’m going to learn one way or another. Do I start with Haskell? Some said python, I’m learning right now, but how does that translate? It’s very confusing for the average person getting into this space with it being very technical.

Thank you in advance!

Respectfully,

Tommy Jenkins

Hey,

it really depends on your background. If you just started learning programming (pyhthon) and understanding blockchains, I’d suggest to take your time learning python, and then play a bit wirth Marlowe Playground. Haskell is a very specific language which you should definitely learn if you want to develop smart contracts with plutus. This totally depends on your goals. If you just want to make basic financial smart-contracts you will be fine with marlowe.

If we could help you, we’d appreciate your support for Megaclite on Project Catalyst,
where we seek funding to set up a Cardano Consulting Company.

i think you have to start, from basic and go to intermediate level

This collection of bookmarks has been ordered to form a kind of syllabus for anyone that wishes to become a Cardano developer. I am not a Cardano developer but I hope to become one. I have started my journey by making this document as my road map. Now it’s time to follow the map. You are welcome to follow it too. Can someone please point me to a more complete syllabus so that I can follow that instead? If anyone has links which should be included here, please point me to these. Also please consider that this document can easily be modified by anyone and redistributed to the community. The result could become a high quality course syllabus that anyone could follow to become a Cardano Developer.
Much thanks to all the people that created this amazing content.
