Newsletter – SFCBytes
SFC-Bytes is the Computer Science department ‘s bi-annual e-newsletter available for all to read on our college‘s official website www.sfc.ac.in.
A "Byte" in Computer Science is one of the primary units of measurement, essential to the very construction of any computer hardware or software. And with this e-newsletter, we hope to do the same. With contributions from "SFC" itself, we wish for the newsletter to become an integral piece of the college's social fabric and making in the years to come.
