Flexible online learning
At your own time and pace
With personal guidance
It seemed exciting for a while: AI tools that generate code and make developers obsolete. But the reality? Companies are still screaming for Software Developers, and AI actually makes you more valuable. Whether you are (or want to become) a Front-End, Back-End or Full-Stack Developer, AI makes you faster, more effective and better. At Winc Academy, you will now learn not only how to code, but also how to use AI to your advantage.
Tools such as GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT allow developers to write code faster, detect bugs and even have entire functionalities generated. But AI also has limitations:
For example, AI can generate a database query, but doesn't understand how to best secure it against hacks. AI can build a UI component, but doesn't sense whether the user finds the interface intuitive. And AI can design an API, but lacks the insight to integrate it efficiently with existing systems.
This is why the role of a Developer is indispensable. Spend less time on repetitive work, more focus on architecture, creativity and strategic thinking. IT professionals who use AI as a tool can work faster and smarter-and are therefore more valuable than ever.
You would think that AI would reduce the demand for developers, but the opposite is true. The Dutch job market has an extreme shortage of IT professionals.
🔹 In 2023, the number of ICT jobs grew by 4,000 and another 12,000 will be added in 2024.
🔹 76,000 IT vacancies were open between September 2022 and September 2023.
🔹 Front-end developers are invariably in the top 3 most sought-after IT jobs.
🔹 Full-stack developers are more desirable than ever because AI tools make them even more productive.
Whether you become a front-end, back-end or full-stack developer, one thing is certain: companies are eager for people like you.
With the continued tightness in the IT sector, developer wages continue to grow above average.
💰 Front-end developers start around €2,800 - €3,000 per month and grow to €6,000+.
💰 Back-end developers earn an average of €3,800 - €4,500 and can exceed €6,000 as a senior.
💰 Full-stack developers often earn slightly more than front-end or back-end specialists.
In addition, IT often offers attractive benefits: bonuses, flexible working hours and, in many cases, the opportunity to work completely remotely.
As a developer, do you want to stay relevant not only now, but also in the future? Then it's smart to invest in the right combination of skills: programming AND AI. Companies are looking for developers who can not only write code, but also understand how AI makes work smarter and more efficient.
