# Lesson 3.5: Off-Chain Code with Lucid Welcome to Lesson 3.5! In this lesson, you'll learn how to create off-chain code using Lucid. Lucid is a library, which allows you to create Cardano transactions and off-chain code for your Plutus contracts in JavaScript, Deno and Node.js. {% embed url="" %} {% tabs %} {% tab title="Learning Objectives" %} After completing this lesson, you'll be able to: * Restate what off-chain code is. * Understand how to create off-chain code by using Lucid. * Relate how a simple dApp for Cardano can be created using Lucid. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Lesson Resources" %} Internet resources mentioned in the lesson's video: * [npm: lucid-cardano](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lucid-cardano) * [Lucid Docs](https://deno.land/x/lucid@0.9.6/mod.ts) {% endtab %} {% tab title="Additional Resources" %} To learn more about the topics covered in this lesson, we encourage you to review the following resources: * [Lucid Website](https://lucid.spacebudz.io/) * [Getting Started with Lucid](https://lucid.spacebudz.io/docs/getting-started/instantiate-lucid/) {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ## Collaborate with the Pioneers Community Remember that you can interact with the participants of the PPP through the [IOG's technical community on Discord](https://discord.gg/inputoutput) by joining the channels under the Plutus Pioneers category. If during the program you have questions about Plutus, we invite you to share them at [Cardano Stack Exchange (CSE)](https://cardano.stackexchange.com/) by adding the `plutus-pioneer-program` tag to your question. The IOG's Education Team members will monitor these questions to support your learning journey. Whenever you share a question at CSE, you're helping to build up the Cardano and Plutus development knowledge base. *** This work is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
