Free Tutorials for Total Beginners
The companion site for the ComputeNest YouTube channel. Every video's notes, downloads, and free templates live right here — starting with our first course, n8n Zero to Hero, built for curious kids and non-tech grown-ups alike.
Featured course
n8n Zero to Hero
Automation for Every Beginner — a free, project-based, 52-episode course.
Curious kids
Every lesson is a 5-minute build with a working "digital toy" at the end — taught with playful, real-world metaphors like secret backpacks and hallway doors instead of scary jargon.
Non-tech grown-ups
Never written a line of code? Same course, same pace. The visual metaphors that make automation click for an 8-year-old work just as well the first time you try it as an adult.
