About the conference:

Historically, ACCU has a lot of C++ and C content, and is proud of that: ACCU is the foremost annual conference for people interested in C++ and C, at least in and around the UK. But it is not just a C++ and C conference, ACCU is about programming in whatever language people are using, with whatever tools and processes people are using: D, Chapel, Java, Kotlin, C#, F#, Groovy, Rust, Go, Python, Ruby, Lisp, to name just a few programming languages about which there have been sessions at ACCU conferences. Git, CMake, Meson, TDD, BDD, allthese tools and techniques have been the focus of sessions at ACCU. The ACCU Conference is looking for sessions that will be interesting to people who create software.

Our keynote speaker are this year: Patricia Aas, Emily Bache, Kevlin Henney and Sean Parent

There are these preconference workshops the day before the conference:

 

 

Overload 154 is now available

ACCU’s Overload journal of December 2019 is out. It contains the following C++ related articles.

Overload 154 is now available

From the journal:

Inside-Out.
Sometimes things appear to be inside out. Frances Buontempo considers when a shift of perspective can make things seem better.

Trip Reports: Meeting C++ 2019 and Embedded C++ 2019.
Deciding which conferences to attend is difficult, and we can’t go to them all. Svitlana Lubenska, Hans Vredeveld and Benedikt Mandelkow give us a flavour of what we may have missed.

Non-Recursive Compile Time Sort.
Compile time sorting usually uses recursion. Norman Wilson shows how C++14 features make this easier.

Quick Modular Calculations (Part 1).
Compilers are good at optimising modular calculations. Can we they do better? Cassio Neri shows they can.

Afterwood.
We are aware of the film Get Carter. Chris Oldwood asks if it should be called Acquire Carter instead.

A fellow colleague and me had the pleasure to attend this years Meeting C++ 2019 from November 14th-16th in Berlin. It was my second visit and a quite interesting and insightful one. Therefore I would like to give a short summary and share some of my take-aways...

How C++17 Benefits from Boost Libraries, Part Two

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

As you know, Boost libraries give us a vast set of handy algorithms, types and features that we don’t have in the Standard Library. Many functionalities were “ported” into core C++. For example, in C++11 we got std::regex, threading and smart pointers..

How C++17 Benefits from Boost Libraries, Part One

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

In today’s article, I’ll show you battle-tested features from the well-known Boost libraries that were adapted into C++17.

With the growing number of elements in the Standard Library, supported by experience from Boost you can write even more fluent C++ code.
