'''ACCU''' (previously known as ''Association of C and C++ Users'') is a worldwide organisation of people interested in programming languages. Originally, the association was primarily for [[C (programming language)|C]] programmers (it was then called the CUG), but it has since added [[C++]], [[C Sharp programming language|C#]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[Perl]], and [[Python (programming language)|Python]] programmers to its membership.

Members of ACCU include professional programmers and companies as well as amateur programmers. The association is operated by a volunteer [[committee]], which is responsible for the organisation of an ACCU [[Academic conference|conference]] each spring in or near Oxford, as well as the publication of a number of journals. The UK Python Conference now forms a [[Academic conference|track]] at the ACCU conference.

The association has two types of membership: Regular membership provides access to the conferences and the association's principal journal, ''C Vu'', which contains articles, letters, and book reviews by members; Advanced membership additionally provides a subscription to ''Overload'', which is designed for more advanced programmers. Full-time students qualify for membership [[discount]]s.
