Can AI replace junior developers? Official US outlook statistics split software developers from programmer job families; those lines can point in opposite directions at the same time. Social feeds rarely preserve that distinction, so one scary chart stands in for an entire labor market. For learners, the practical question is which engineering work stays valuable when models generate boilerplate, not whether every title containing the word "code" moves together.

AI engineering is the hottest skill in tech right now. Unlike data science or machine learning, AI engineering focuses on building applications that use language models, think chatbots, AI agents, RAG systems, and tool-using AI.

Scrimba's AI Engineer Path is an 11.4-hour interactive curriculum that takes you from "I know JavaScript" to "I can build production AI applications." This guide covers everything in the path and how to get the most from it.

Most developers now use at least one AI tool in their workflow. AI coding assistants aren't a novelty anymore, they're a baseline professional skill. Here's what you need to know.

Follow the AI Engineer Path (11.4h, Pro) or pick individual courses. Covers agents, RAG, MCP, Vercel AI SDK. 12 AI courses.

Who This Is For​

Web developers adding AI skills: those wanting agents, RAG, or MCP; or anyone choosing between the path vs à la carte courses.

AI Engineering is the fastest-growing specialization in web development. It's not about training foundation models or doing heavy math; it's about engineering applications that use LLMs. Scrimba has one of the most comprehensive AI engineering curricula available, 12 courses covering everything from the OpenAI API to cutting-edge topics like Model Context Protocol (MCP) and RAG.
