CSS Homepage2.0

Automat, by Edward Hopper

This is the main page for CSS, a student organization at Cal Poly Pomona meant to appeal to fans of computer science (by some coincidence, many of our members also major in that).

If you're new, you can learn more by clicking around a bit. Get to it. If you're not new, you're probably not reading this, which means that I can say mean things about you. I won't, though. I care too much to do that.
