Who We are...

We are programmers that pursue learning through self/team-initiated 
projects. We call ourselves Chroma Coders because we focus on the team 
approach to projects.

Our goal is to introduce you to the team project experience...so that 
you will know how to develop and act upon your ideas in the future.

Past members have learned enough through the project experience to be 
able to go ahead and do their own projects.

We promote a culture of creative execution. We pride ourselves on the 
discipline of performing tight, awesome, creative software projects. We

Coding is an art form and we intend to be its greatest painters.
