Professionalism in Programming

ACCU is an organisation of programmers who care about professionalism in programming and are dedicated to raising the standard of programming.

ACCU publishes journals, runs both targeted study groups and a yearly conference, and hosts mailing lists to help programmers develop their skills and professionalism. And there's our fine collection of book reviews.

A brief history of ACCU

The C Users Group (UK) was formed in 1987 as an informal group for those who had an interest in the C language and related topics such as operating systems, language compilers and other types of work usually done in C. In 1993 the public name Association of C and C++ Users was adopted to reflect the growing interest and use of C++ by the members of the association.

In the following years the interests of the members continued to grow into other languages, design, process and related subjects. In 2006 the abbreviated ACCU was adopted as the public name of the group removing the language specificity to embrace the wide range of interests of the members of the association.
