So I would really like to get started with AI, I'm planing to learn by myself , but there are so many resources out there that you end up lost very easily.

I've seen that the odin project is a very usefull resource for web devs that not only train people from beginner to advanced, but it also pushes us through a number of impressive project that have the merit to make you build a portfolio, rather than just theory upon theory.

Is there any similar place to this website but for AI engineering ?

Just curious.

Edit:- The Odin Project is basically a free hands-on guide to web development with various projects included in it. Developers say that it's one of the best (even way better than various online courses on Coursera or FreeCodeCamp, according to some). According to them, the projects are really involving, and will certainly give you a much better chance at landing a web development job with an impressive resume.

A simple question: I saw a lot of people here saying good things about the Odin Project. And it seems it is 100% free. So why would anyone pay for the courses from e.g. Codeacedemy/Coursera/Udemy?

I'd guess the courses offered by the other sources must have some advantages over the Odin Project, right? So what are the things in the other sources which justify the payment?

Basically I was wondering if the Odin Project is good enough for a beginner to learn e.g. Web dev to land a job or would it be wiser to pay to learn from other places?

I am asking this question as a machine learning engineer with over four years of experience. I've been studying TOP for a few weeks now, and it's an excellent tool for thoroughly learning the fundamentals of web development principles, along with essential hard skills like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and more. In my view, it's the best course available for anyone pursuing a full-stack web development path.

...BUT

Two major concerns that have been lingering in the back of my mind have finally surfaced, affecting my motivation:

• First, the "too rapid" advancements in AI technology- both in academia and industry- make me wonder if, by the time I become proficient in full-stack web development, perhaps a year from now, AI will make me obsolete already. I don’t want to invest significant time in a field that may be dead in a few years. I see this as a strong possibility because, as someone directly involved in building these AI solutions, I know firsthand that they are designed to handle increasingly complex tasks.

• Second, according to the 2024 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, there are already thousands of experienced full-stack developers in the market, and their median salary is not particularly high. I’m not looking to transition into another conventional white-collar position in web development; instead, I hope to use these skills to build a minimum viable product and pursue my solopreneur aspirations.

With these thoughts in mind, I have two questions:

1. Given the current landscape -where tons of AI-generated code are already lingering on the internet- do you think investing in web development skills will be worthwhile in the coming years? (edit: Folks, I am already a developer. My question is not "Should I start coding despite AI?". I am looking for answers to something like this: "Is studying X, Y and Z to code a full-fledged website by using frameworks A, B and C logical, or will AI take care of A, B, C or even X, Y, Z in a couple of years?")

2. Would it be wiser to focus on technologies like Webflow for building websites (instead of X, Y and Z)? Webflow seems intent on adapting to the "AI era" and could offer tools that simplify the development process. The learning curve is also less steep compared to TOP.

Thank you for your insights!
