On Wednesday January 27th, the Computer Science Department was proud to host Front Rush, a local startup dedicated to creating user friendly Recruiter software and staunch supporter of HackTCNJ. Paul Nathan (TCNJ ’15) and Mike Walters (TCNJ ’14), two Front Rush employees and TCNJ alumni, led a presentation that incorporated a quick tutorial of Ruby on Rails through the exploration of a simple website. The presenters continued with an introduction to the model-view-controller paradigm as well as advice on further investigation into the language/framework.
The talk was followed by a Q and A for the TCNJ students regarding any questions about the presentation or any items related to post-graduation. Front Rush then continued with a two-day internal hackathon on January 27th and 28th. The hackathon was an excellent networking opportunity for TCNJ students to meet with the local company and to ask several alumni about their post-graduation experience.
