Why DevForge
Built different from every other coding school. By design.
Most learning platforms make you watch videos and click quizzes. DevForge makes you ship. Every day. With a mentor who knows you. With a portfolio that hires you.

How a sprint works
Five beats. Every day. No exceptions.
The sprint is the only first-class object in DevForge. No lessons, no modules, no quizzes. You enter a sprint, you ship an artifact, you keep the artifact. That's it.
01
Hook
A real-world scenario, told like a Linear engineering doc. Stakes, role, clock.
02
Frame
Just enough technique to start. Inline code samples, annotated diagrams, no fluff.
03
Build
Real editor, real terminal, real shell. Aria observes silently — questions only.
04
Ship
Auto-deploy to your subdomain. The artifact exists, the sprint completes.
05
Retrospect
Mentor reflects on what you did. Specific. The decision is logged forever.
The curriculum
Six tracks. One workshop.
Pick one to focus, branch into others as you grow. Every track ends in a portfolio capstone — a real, deployed, technically rigorous project that hiring managers respect.

Career Readiness
Portfolio, résumé, interviews
Capstone
Real mock interviews with rubric scoring. Real résumé built from your work.
The mentors
AI senior engineers, on every sprint.
DevForge mentors never autocomplete your work. They ask diagnostic questions, watch how you code, and remember every sprint you've done. After 90 days, they know you.
▲
Aria
The Architect
Calm, terse. Asks more questions than she answers. Best when you want to think rigorously about tradeoffs.
▌▌▌
Kade
The Builder
High-energy, ship-focused, allergic to over-design. "Ship it ugly, then ship it pretty."
◉
Sol
The Designer
Visual, taste-obsessed. References how Stripe and Linear made their decisions. Best for UI/UX work.
⠿
Nine
The Researcher
Precise, citation-heavy, deeply technical. The one for ML, statistics, formal verification.
Our promise
New program. No fake reviews — just what we guarantee.
DevForge is brand new, so we won't pretend to have thousands of alumni. Instead, here's exactly what you get — and a guarantee that protects you if it's not a fit.
You ship real, deployed projects
Not quizzes or toy exercises. Every sprint ends with something running at a public URL you can show a hiring manager.
Your work is yours forever
Your repos, deployed apps, decisions log, and portfolio. Cancel any time and everything you built stays online and stays yours.
AI mentors, on call 24/7
Four mentors built on Claude help you reason through bugs, architecture, and trade-offs — guiding you to the answer instead of handing it over.
A public portfolio you own
Ship your proof to a portfolio at your-handle.devforgehq.com — the kind of evidence interviewers actually click through.
Interview prep built in
Mock interviews with rubric scoring and a resume built from the work you actually shipped. No 'guaranteed job' claims — just real preparation.
30-day money-back guarantee
Start with a free week — no card required. If it's not for you within 30 days of upgrading, email us and we'll refund you.
Try a free week with no card. Upgrade only if you want to keep going — and if the first 30 days don't earn it, we'll refund you, no hard feelings.
The portfolio
You leave with a body of work. Not a certificate.
Every sprint becomes an artifact: a deployed URL, a public repo, a decisions log, a screenshot. After 12 weeks your portfolio lives at {handle}.devforgehq.com — yours, exportable, indexable by Google and hiring managers.

Every artifact is real
Real repos, real deploys, real subdomains. Not screenshots in a slide deck.
Every decision is logged
Why you chose Postgres over Mongo. Why memoization. Hiring managers read these in interviews — having yours written down is a moat.
A mentor letter, on file
At capstone, your mentor writes a 200-word reference based on the actual work you did. We've seen these used in real job applications and they land.
Yours forever
Cancel any time. Your portfolio, your repos, your code all keep working. We don't hold your work hostage.
Pricing
One price. No upsells. No surprises.
Start free. Pay $39 a month while you're building. Cancel any time without penalty — we don't hold your work hostage.
