ACCU Membership: https://tinyurl.com/ydnfkcyn --- How to Think Like a Programmer - Connor Brook - ACCU 2025 --- Programming is structured problem-solving. The best programmers don't just write code: they think clearly, break problems down, and avoid unnecessary complexity. This talk explores ways to approach programming with better structure and reasoning. It will introduce practical ideas to help you recognise common mistakes, refine your problem-solving process, and write code that works - by thinking about how you think.

He got into machine learning through self-directed study and now works on machine learning systems and data pipelines, focusing on writing clear, reliable code. He's interested in how we think about problems and how our understanding shapes the way we write software. His approach is more intuitive than formal, always looking for the underlying structure rather than relying on rigid methods. He's particularly curious about intelligence itself, both artificial and human, and how we can build systems that reflect deeper patterns of reasoning. Video Sponsored By JetBrains --- The ACCU Conference is the annual conference of the ACCU membership, but is open to any and all who wish to attend. The tagline for the ACCU is 'Professionalism in Programming', which captures the whole spectrum of programming languages, tools, techniques and processes involved in advancing our craft. While there remains a core of C and C++ - with many members participating in respective ISO standards bodies - the conference, like the organisation, embraces other language ecosystems and you should expect to see sessions on C#, D, F#, Go, Javascript, Haskell, Java, Kotlin, Lisp, Python, Ruby, Rust, Swift and more.The ACCU Conference is a conference by programmers for programmers about programming. Discounted rates for members.
