Learn FiveM by shipping, not by watching.
Run a server or write Lua resources. Every lesson ends with something that actually boots, runs, or works.
Never written Lua? You only need to have seen a variable and a function before. Start at Write scripts, Step 1.
CHOOSE YOUR GOAL
Two tracks. Pick one outcome.
A
Run a FiveM server
Install, configure, and manage a FiveM server. No coding: you edit config, you don't write scripts.
PICK THIS IF
You want to run your own server.
YOU FINISH WITH
A live, secured server your players can join.
26 core + 18 optional & advancedOpen track
BBuild and sell FiveM scripts
Write FiveM scripts in Lua, from your first line to a resource you can sell.
PICK THIS IF
You want to write scripts.
YOU FINISH WITH
A tested, documented FiveM resource ready to release or sell.
52 core + 37 optional & advancedOpen track
Not sure? Write scripts, Step 1 assumes the least and teaches the skills the other track leans on.

All levelsZero to Hero: LuaProfessor RED takes you from zero coding to shipping real FiveM scripts. Start with setup and Lua fundamentals - variables, functions, events, callbacks and the natives you actually use - then go deep with high-performance Lua and a complete playtime-reward script you build yourself.All levelsStart Here: Make Your First FiveM ServerNew to FiveM? Start here. Stand up your own server with MariaDB, learn the scripting fundamentals, understand how errors work, and debug like a pro - the clearest path from nothing to a running server.All levelsLua Deep-DivesStandalone Lua masterclasses from Professor RED: a fundamentals recap, writing high-performance code, and building a real reward script. Best after the basics, when you want cleaner and faster Lua.All levelsCoding Cookbook: Dev Standards, SQL & GitProfessor Alphi's Coding Cookbook: write professional FiveM code with clean Lua standards, safe SQL through oxmysql, and Git version control. Stop copy-pasting scripts you cannot fix and start writing code you understand.All levelsZero to Hero: UI/UXDesign and build professional FiveM interfaces with Professor RED: UI/UX foundations, wireframing and information architecture, usability patterns, and wiring NUI to Lua with async messaging. Plan and ship a real in-game UI.All levelsBuilding FiveM SystemsCruze builds real FiveM systems from scratch: lockpicking, a black market, a drug system, and optimization, all with clean event and callback patterns. You will learn to structure a full feature and keep item and money logic server-authoritative.All levelsDebugging & NUILearn to read FiveM errors, trace a bug to the exact line, and understand how NUI (the in-game browser UI) really works. By the end you can diagnose a broken script instead of guessing.All levelsBuild a Job CenterBuild a complete job center from zero, then polish it into a finished, configurable feature across two sessions. A full end-to-end build you can adapt to any job on your server.All levelsBuild an Admin MenuBuild an admin tool with Professor Alphi across two parts: server-side permissions and an NUI panel, then real moderation actions. You will learn to gate every action on the server so it cannot be spoofed.All levelsBuild a Speed CameraBuild a working speed-camera system live with Professor Alphi: detection zones, speed checks, and a finished configurable script. A complete build that teaches proximity checks and performance-safe loops.All levelsBuild a Ring SystemBuild a wearable-item ring system live with Professor Alphi: give, equip, and apply an effect that persists across relogs. Learn item metadata and server-validated effects.All levelsZone Management SystemBuild a reusable zone system: define areas once in config and run enter and leave logic, data-driven with ox_lib. A pattern you will reuse in almost every script.All levelsRecorded Build SessionsCruze's recorded live builds, captioned step by step with ox_lib: callbacks vs events, a lockpicking skill-check mini-game, a drug script, and an ATM robbery. Watch a full feature come together from a blank file.All levelsSecure Coding & Anti-CheatWrite scripts that resist exploits: server-authoritative logic, secure patterns, and stopping specific cheats. You will learn why never to trust the client and how to close the holes that get servers wiped.All levelsSecurity EssentialsProtect yourself, your server, and your players: online-security fundamentals, malware awareness, and an isolated Kali Linux lab. Practical safety for owners, taught for systems you own only.All levelsMapping BasicsLearn FiveM mapping from scratch. Professor Matej covers Blender and CodeWalker fundamentals in his first live mapping class.All levelsBusiness & MonetizationTurn your FiveM skills into income: monetization strategy, Tebex done right under the latest CFX rules, and the business of running a server. Learn what you can and cannot sell, and how to price and package it.
