Overload is a bi-monthly professional computer magazine published by ACCU, that was established in 1993 and is edited by Frances Buontempo.

It aims to "publish a high standard of articles about all aspects of software development".

[5] About the same time, a board of "readers" was established, to assist authors with improving their articles.

[4] Over time, many competing publications have been discontinued (C++ Report has been discontinued in 2002, C/C++ Users Journal in 2006, Dr Dobbs Journal in 2009),[6] and by 2010 Overload has become the only magazine to cover this area,[citation needed] which has attracted articles of notable writers such as former contributing editor of C/C++ Users Journal Matthew Wilson[7] and creator of C++ Bjarne Stroustrup.

[9][10] In 2005 Overload published a Quality Manifesto by Tom Gilb.
