Hey There!


We're the Rutgers Mobile App Development Club! We are a student-led computer science club invested in teaching the Rutgers community about mobile app development. We teach incoming students the fundamentals of mobile app development in a program known as the Accelerator. We also motivate students to take actionable steps towards their career goals through talks, competitions, and networking events. RUMAD serves as a hub for Rutgers students to build the apps of their dreams while also building lifelong relationships.

Accelerator

The goal of the Accelerator is to take students from knowing nothing about app development to a level where they can build and ship their own apps. They will pick a track from iOS, Android, or Backend development to learn about.

We will also provide every mentee in the Accelerator program with close mentorship from an experienced mentor. They will receive career and academic guidance to help ensure they are successful in their journey at Rutgers and beyond.

Tracks

The backend track covers how to structure a REST API, securly store passwords, encode data as a JSON Web Token, connect your backend to a database, and deploy your backend to a hosting platform.

Incubator

The RUMAD Incubator program is perfect for anyone who is looking to apply their iOS, Android, or Backend development skills in a structured manner. You will be working on a team to create a mobile app project. This project can be anything your team chooses. You are expected to contribute to the development of your project each week on your own time. In addition, you will have meetings with your mentor and other team members each week as well. These meetings will be approximately 1 hour long and can involve coding, delegating tasks, or debugging any issues which you could not fix on your own time during the week. The meetings will help keep you and your group on track to finishing the project.

How it's built

How It's Built is a series of talks throughout the year that features guest speakers from top tech companies who share their experiences in the industry and their current projects. RUMAD has featured systems engineers and software engineers from MongoDB, Facebook, Two Sigma, Tinder, and AppNexus.
