What weβre about
### About ACCU York π οΈπ
ACCU York is a local chapter of ACCU, a global organisation dedicated to professionalism in programming. We meet most months in York to share ideas, grow our skills, and explore the art and science of software development.
Whether you're deep into C++, dabbling in Rust, building in JavaScript, or exploring functional programming and agile practices, you'll find others here who share your curiosity and want to learn alongside you.
What we do:
π§ Monthly talks and discussions
From low-level systems programming to high-level architecture, we host engaging talks and conversations on a wide range of topics relevant to today's software practitioners.
π Cross-language focus
Weβre not dogmatic. C++, Java, Rust, Haskell, Go. Itβs all welcome. We believe the best developers learn from multiple paradigms and communities.
π± Professional development
We promote lifelong learning and craft in software. Whether you're early in your career or decades deep, ACCU is a place to grow.
π€ Community and conversation
ACCU York is a welcoming space to meet other developers, share experiences, ask hard questions, and build connections. Free and open to all.
π€ Propose a talk
Weβre always looking for new voices! If you have something to share. From war stories to wild ideas. Propose a talk.

Join us for thoughtful tech talks, great discussions, and a community that values quality and curiosity in software.
