The Benefits of ACCU Membership
Be part of an inclusive, egalitarian group of programmers who care about their craft, sharing knowledge, continually learning, and generally seeking Professionalism in Programming.
- World Class Conference: The ACCU Spring Conference is well known and respected in the C++ world, with a wide ranging programme, and attracting prestigious speakers. Attendees can brush up on skills in the pre-conference tutorials, and immerse themselves in the informal and friendly atmosphere. Discounted rates for members.
- Printed Journals: ACCU produces two magazines, alternating monthly, with content written by our members. C Vu is the member’s magazine, and Overload is more technical with peer reviewed articles. Available as paper copy or via the website. Indexed archives are available on the website.
- Email Discussion Lists: Very high signal to noise email lists. Accu-general is the most popular and will usually generate a same day response to specific technical, or general, questions. Ask or discuss anything from the most basic to complex template meta-programming.
- Local Groups: Set up and run by ACCU members in their local area. Usually monthly, meetings include guest speakers and social events. Local Groups exist in Bristol & Bath, Cambridge, London, Oxford, York, and San Francisco.
- Book Reviews: Technical books reviewed by our members. Reviews are published in C Vu, and an archive is available on the website. We also have an essential books wiki.
- Social Media: Find us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Github, Flikr, and Youtube for session recordings from our conferences. We also provide a blog agregator for members.
- Personal Development: Any member can start a learning project. In the past we have had study groups and mentored development projects. Some members help at their local code clubs.
