MasterWP Workshops

You've been a web developer for years now – long enough to see lots of fads and gimmicks come and go. Through it all, you've learned how to identify serious industry changes (and dismiss nonsensical pipe dreams).

• Remember when we were all going to work in the virtual-reality metaverse?
  
  
• When banks were going to disappear and we'd all use the blockchain?
  
  
• How about when iPhone apps were going to make "websites" obsolete?
  
  

With all the wacky ideas floated by charismatic entrepreneurs, it's easy to become jaded – and assume that all of these new ideas are similarly unserious and bound to pass quickly.

But sometimes, big things really do happen.

Here at MasterWP, we have a long history of sticking to "tried and true" methods of web development. We love WordPress (19 years old!) and we are still making big investments in our old-standby theme framework, which combines Underscores and Bootstrap (neither of which is remotely fancy or new). We believe in creating stable, powerful sites that are built to last.

We also believe that Artificial Intelligence is a big deal.

We'll avoid the "sliced bread" analogies – but to say the least, the launch of three new tools in the past year has dramatically changed our assessment of the future of the industry:

• The first is GitHub Copilot, an AI assistant that helps you code.
  
  
• The second is ChatGPT, a large language model from OpenAI (which has a corresponding API, allowing anyone to build apps based on the language model).
  
  
• And the third is DALL-E, another tool from OpenAI that creates images from text prompts. (There are already some interesting DALL-E competitors, too.)
  
  

These three tools already have a huge number of obvious use cases where they improve the lives of coders and content creators – not to mention the everyday users of the web. But they are, quite literally, just the tip of the iceberg. As these tools advance over the next few years, we anticipate more and more of our work being assisted by AI – and as software developers, we believe we need to invest in staying ahead of that trend.

That's why we created Innovating with AI, our new course and video series that immerses you in the most popular and powerful artificial intelligence tools, so you can ensure you're on the cutting edge as a developer – rather than being left behind. 

Stay ahead of the AI curve with simple, powerful education from our senior development team

In Innovating with AI, you'll learn from the team of senior developers at MasterWP and our parent company, HDC – folks who are building websites for organizations like Harvard and The World Bank every day. We'll take you on a tour of the AI industry as it stands today, we'll show what we think will shape the future, and we'll get down-and-dirty with real code, real API calls, and real WordPress plugins that put the power of AI into practice. 

You'll get the first sneak peak at our brand-new AI-powered WordPress tools, as well as our unvarnished analysis of where you should focus your development skills to get ahead of the game in our AI-driven future.

In each chapter, your hosts will introduce you to our team's expert developers – sharing exactly how we're using Copilot to enhance our day-to-day coding, how we're using OpenAI to improve our content creation, and how we're building new and unique applications on top of the OpenAI API. With cheat sheets, code samples, captions, transcripts and more, it's everything you need to stay on top of your game in the next phase of your software-engineering career.

And this month only, we're offering a special pre-order discount. Grab Innovating with AI today and save 15% – and the full program will be yours on launch day in Spring 2023.
