ForgeJS launches first full stack JavaScript development school in Seattle

Site looks pretty, but is this the 1st time you are offering this class? Feedback about content quality and from past attendees would be helpful. I've been burned in the past in SF at Codeacademy where they promised the moon and delivered little.

Also, is $ 550 for just 1 weekend, or for all 3? And the duration? from when to when on each day?

Thank you. ~Preem

Hi Preem, this is Ryan one of the mentors at Forge. $550 is just for one weekend. This is our first go round at the workshops in this format. I've taught similar material internally for some corporations and Colin (my primary collaborator on this project) has been teaching JS for several years full time. We aren't totally green but this is a new venture.

What specific workshop or class did you feel you got burned on? I wasn't aware Codecademy offered offline courses.

I went looking for the same info. There are details about the hours in the right-hand sidebar once you click into the information for an individual class (e.g. http://forgejs.com/advanced-js.html).

It appears that the $550 is for a single weekend, which seems pretty reasonable compared to classes at Bocoup.
