The discourse explored Go’s foundations, modeled after C with modern features. Endorsed by Google, Go found application in major tech platforms. Yaseen highlighted key features, applications in various fields, and strengths like simplicity, automatic garbage collection, fast compile time, and strong typing.

Trade-offs, including sacrificing some runtime safety for performance, were acknowledged. Yaseen delved into core concepts—control statements, functions, variadic functions, anonymous functions, main and init functions, the defer keyword, methods, arrays, slices, and more. The session concluded by emphasizing Go’s pivotal role in the programming language landscape, seamlessly blending efficiency and contemporary features for a potent and accessible coding platform.

The department of MCA in association with Foss club and Automatez organized an Expert-talk on DevOps, DSA and Resume crafting. The tech talk session was handled by two industry experts, Mr. Venkatesh N P, a Software Developer at JP Morgan Chases & Co and Mr. Pandu Kumar A N, a Software Engineer at ADTRAN.

The first session was handled by Mr. Venkatesh where he gave the students a brief insight in to the World of DevOps and Docker. He also gave us a practical implementation on AWS. The second session was handled by Mr. Pandu Kumar where he gave us a detailed explanation on DSA, he also gave the students an idea on how to build a resume and the key points of a resume.
