We had an absolute blast at this year's ACCU Conference and if you were there we imagine you did too.
For us the highlight had to be the launch of #include <C++>, a new global, inclusive, and diverse community for developers interested in C++.
This is an initiative that has been brewing for a while, and one we are very happy to be a part of. Above all else #include <C++> is designed to be a safe place for developers irrespective of their background, ethnicity, gender identity or sexuality. The group runs a Discord server which is moderated to ensure that it remains a safe space and which you are welcome to join.
On the technical front, one unexpected highlight of the conference was Benjamin Missel's wonderful short talk on writing a C compiler for a BBC Micro, during which he demonstrated SSHing into a BBC Model B through the serial port!
Most conference sessions were recorded so even if you weren't there you can still watch them.
See you at ACCU 2019!
