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.

Architecture Kata at Aventum
Aventum, 11 monument Street, EC3R 8AF, London, GBWe're delighted to announce an exciting LSCC event on November 20th, in partnership with our friends at Aventum!
Join us at the Aventum London office for this session and get the chance to flex your architectural design muscles!
"So how are we supposed to get great architects, if they only get the chance to architect fewer than a half-dozen times in their career?" — Ted Neward.
This quote highlights the need for practice, which is what our LSCC architecture katas provide: a safe, repeatable way to hone your software architecture design skills by simulating architectural challenges.
What's the format?
You'll be split into groups and have a business problem to solve. You'll be tasked with designing a technical architecture to meet that problem context. As with real-life you'll have to manage various trade-offs in your design and interact with a Product Owner to clarify your questions.At the end of the task each team will showcase their architecture and technology choices back to the wider group as part of a group discussion.
Whether you're a seasoned coder, software architect or new to the scene, you're invited to share insights, discuss best practices, and learn from fellow participants. No prior session attendance or architecture knowledge is required – just bring your enthusiasm. No laptop is required for this session, we'll provide each group with paper, pens and sticky notes to support the activity.
Food and drinks will be provided with vegetarian, vegan and non-alcoholic options available - thanks to Aventum for sponsoring.
