ACM Connect

What is this

• ACM Connect is now the best way UT Dallas students can join ACM @ UTD
• We launched an initiative to help students get more exposure to recruiters and increase the chances of getting internships and jobs after graduation
• The front-end is built in React and the backend in Node.js with TypeScript

Cloning the repo

• Run git clone https://github.com/acmlabs/ACM-Connect
• cd ACM-Connect
• npm i to install the required dependencies
• npm run tsrun to run the server and deploy the site

External dependencies

• ACM Connect stores the resumes on AWS S3 and uses AWS DynamoDB for account management
• You'll should install the AWS CLI from here.

Running the server

• If you'd like to test using the UTD account, you'll need to request a key login pair from [email protected]
• Else you can run the server against your own resources by modifying the .env file and changing the resource names
• WORK IN PROGRESS ^^
• You can start the server and deploy the site by doing cd server && npm run dev
• npm run dev compiles and watches the server directory for changes and points the static file directory to server/client/build.
• Compile changes to the front-end by using npm run build in server/client

Contributing

• Being a ACM Labs project, ACM Connect will be open source software
• I'll try and set up a way of contributing soon
