Best area of AI to focus on for a front end developer?

7 polished85 4 8/13/2025, 6:14:33 AM

I've been primarily a front end developer for the last 10 years and am looking for suggestions on how to transition to AI. Should I just dive in at Coursera.org or a similar online course? Is there a specialization in AI I should be looking at? I love building User Interfaces and am just looking for suggestions.

I would argue you want to get base levels of front end development knowledge to begin with without AI. Frontendmasters is good for modern tech stacks, but much easier to master JS CSS and HTML in vanilla formats using w3schools and khanaccademy etc.

In my opinion you can't solely rely on ai you need to get up to speed on terms definitions and patterns

It's the same as with any other new tech, start using it.

Use Claude Code, Figma MCP, Supabase MCP, Lovable, v0.dev.

Find where your interests overlap interesting tech, and who knows, you might be able to build a business from it

You don't need a course ... just build something with Claude Code and Shadcn UI

Everytime "just" is mentioned, i question the life again.
