You feel it. Change is in there air and it’s been hanging around for a while now but you can’t quite find your place in it. Yes, I’m talking about the impact of AI on the web development world.

It’s a tool that’s changing how developers work every day. From writing code, to debugging systems, to reviewing PRs, and more… but it’s hard to keep up. Scratch that… it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed by an uncertain future.

That’s why we’re producing a series of courses all about “AI Driven Development”. The first instalment is entitled The Future Proof Dev: An Intro to AI for Web Developers. It’s not about hype or vague futurism - it’s about real world possibilities and showcasing tooling and workflows that equip you to use AI effectively in real projects today.


Why An Intro to AI for Web Developers Matters

The explosive adoption of tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and IDE-integrated AI assistants shows that the future of development is AI-augmented. Still, from surveys and personal chats, it’s clear: many developers don’t realize just how much is possible with AI, and fewer still are using it in consistent, productive ways.

But the numbers are clear, developers who learn how to leverage these tools will not only code faster but also produce better products and outputs over time.

This course is built by developers, for developers - walking you through the many ways developers are adopting AI into their workflows: from simple AI-assisted tasks, to supervised coding agents, to fully autonomous background (even parallel) agents.


What You’ll Learn in the AI Introduction Course

Here’s a look at the journey you’ll take inside the course:


1. Foundations of AI for Developers

Understand what AI really is, how it compares to traditional programming, and what large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are doing under the hood. We’ll cut through the noise and give you a developer-centric explanation of tokens, context, and generative AI.


2. Getting Comfortable with AI in Daily Workflow

You’ll start with simple, browser-based tools—using AI to generate functions, write tests, and explain legacy code. These practical demos show how even “level one” AI tools can save you valuable time every week.


3. Leveling Up in Your IDE

Next, we move into context-aware IDEs like Cursor. These tools provide real-time, project-specific assistance that goes beyond what a chat window can do. You’ll see how to load context automatically, switch models on the fly, and use inline edits to refactor code safely.


4. Agents and Autonomous Workflows

The future of AI development isn’t just autocomplete—it’s agents that can plan, write, and run code across your project. You’ll explore agent mode, where AI can add features or fix bugs across multiple files with a single prompt.


We’ll even cover running multiple background agents in parallel, like pseudo-team members working alongside you.


5. Building Your AI Dev Toolkit

Finally, we’ll round things out with a high level tour of specialized tools like Bug Bot for automated PR feedback, Sentry Seer for AI-assisted error monitoring in production, and n8n for flexible AI workflow automations.

By the end, you’ll have a full-stack perspective on how to integrate AI into your development workflow—confidently and responsibly.


Who This Course Is For?

As the very first course in our catalog, we’ve crafted The Future Proof Dev to start from ground 0 but give you the most insight as quickly as possible. It’s chock full of real code, hands-on examples, as well beautiful visual that make complex concepts click.

This makes it the perfect course for:

  • Web developers who want to understand the options available for integrating AI into their workflows without sacrificing quality of output

  • Team leads looking to introduce AI to their dev workflows with hands on examples and expert lead video training

  • Learners who want more than “prompt hacks” - they want to better understand what others in the community are doing to be more productive
