An open-source, project-based learning platform designed to teach developers real-world skills.
Unlike traditional tutorials or CS degrees that focus on theory, Devu focuses on hands-on projects, peer feedback, and practical engineering experience.
// mission.statement
We believe that the best way to learn development is by doing.
Devu provides a structured path through real-world projects,
where you'll build actual applications, receive peer feedback,
and gain the practical engineering experience that employers value.
// No theory. Just code.
// why.devu
[01]
Learn by building real applications, not just following tutorials. Every project is designed to teach practical skills you'll use in your career.
[02]
Get constructive feedback from fellow developers. Learn to review code, give helpful critiques, and improve through collaboration.
[03]
Gain the engineering experience that matters. Work on projects that mirror real-world scenarios and build a portfolio that demonstrates your skills.
Devu organizes learning into specialized tracks. Each track contains multiple real-world projects designed to build expertise in that domain.

The Devu CLI is your command center for managing projects, running tests, and submitting your work.
$ devu init <project-name> ✓ Copied starter code to workspace $ devu test Running tests... ✓ All tests passed (12/12) $ devu submit ✓ Created pull request #42
Submissions are visible as Pull Requests in the Devu repository. Contributors review and leave feedback, helping everyone improve through collaborative learning.
$ devu submit Creating pull request... → https://github.com/DEVU-ORG/DEVU/pull/42 Waiting for peer review... ✓ Review received from @developer123 "Great implementation! Consider adding error handling here."
Devu is just getting started. We're building something special, but we're not there yet
Every contribution—whether it's code, documentation, feedback, or spreading the word, accelerates the entire process.
Together, we can build the developer university the community deserves.
Thank You !
