What we’re about
This is a community for those who care and are proud of what they do. For those developers, regardless how experienced they are, who want to improve and master their craft.
This is a community for those who believe that being average is just not good enough.
The Manifesto for Software Craftsmanship
As aspiring Software Craftspeople we are raising the bar of professional software development by practicing it and helping others learn the craft. Through this work we have come to value:
- Not only working software, but also well-crafted software
Not only responding to change, but also steadily adding value
Not only individuals and interactions, but also a community of professionals
Not only customer collaboration, but also productive partnerships
That is, in pursuit of the items on the left we have found the items on the right to be indispensable.
We aim to provide a fun, safe and inclusive space for all members. Please take time to read our Code of Conduct - it applies to every community member and the events we deliver in any venue. If you have any concerns or questions please contact one of the organisers for support.

- Lightning Talks at AventumAventum, London
We are very excited to host this event at Aventum, a global (re)insurance group that operates across both the underwriting and broking sectors.
Join us for a series of lightning talks discussing technology, practices or whatever else takes our fancy.
If you're using some new technology you think others would be interested in, if you've got a design or some code you'd like to discuss, if you'd like to discuss a specific practice, a problem you are having at work, something new you have discovered or you'd simply like to see what others have got to say - come along and join in the conversation.
How does it work?
If you've got a cool demo, some new technology or just something you think the group might find interesting, controversial or just plain funny, bring it along and share with the group!
Don't worry if you've never given a lightning talk before - this is a great opportunity to give a talk in a friendly environment. We'll have a screen for presenting slides (if you wish) and all talks are restricted to no more than 5 minutes. You'll also get an opportunity to answer the most upvoted question after your talk has finished.
You can use slides or not - whatever you feel comfortable with. Some of the Codurance team will be on hand to get things kicked off and provide friendly support and feedback.
How to submit your talk
To apply to deliver a lightning talk at this event, please complete this form as soon as possible. We will contact you by email to confirm your place in the lineup. There are limited slots available so submit your talk idea early to avoid disappointment!
