What's the format?
After a short intro, we'll get into groups/pairs or work solo - whatever people feel most comfortable with - and start building. We usually work through a kata (often from this website), but we're open to suggestions, if there's something specific you'd like to cover, please let us know.
You choose how you want to work and what language you want to code in - this could be a language you are familiar with or new to. So far we have seen Python, Javascript, C#, VB, Rust and Elixir. This session is about collaborating with others, becoming a better developer and building your network, in a fun, relaxed environment.
Throughout we will be sharing ideas, discussing best practices and using this as an opportunity to learn from our fellow coders. There's no need to be a professional developer - if you're interested, come along.
Food and drinks will be provided, with vegetarian and vegan options available. All you need to do is bring a machine if you'd like to code along.
Call 07545 895 995 if you are struggling to get in.

This month we are in the auditorium where you get to take centre stage and flex your public speaking muscle!
Join us in at The Bradfield Centre 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. You'll be able to present slides from your laptop on to the auditorium screens if you wish and all talks are restricted to no more than 10 minutes (less than 10 minutes is fine, just don't go over or you'll be told time is up!)
There'll be an interactive Q&A process where the most upvoted question will be posed to the speaker at the end of their talk. Any unanswered questions can be discussed during the networking.
You can use slides or not - whatever you feel comfortable with. Some of the Software Crafters organising team will be on hand to get things kicked off and provide friendly support and feedback.
This is your chance to give public speaking a try - or brush up your skills if you have a presentation coming up that you want to practice - anything goes.
APPLY TO SPEAK USING THIS FORM https://forms.gle/YCA3LvzzYFENyQw27
Please note submissions are on a first come, first served basis. We may close the form once full.
There will be pizza and drinks provided sponsored by Codurance.
Not ready to speak yet? No problem! Come along to support the speakers, submit a question and get inspired for next time.
See you there!

This is a collaborative, hands-on session where we work on a programming problem (or coding kata). We encourage pair programming, and practicing Test Driven Development (TDD). The goal is to practice, learn from each other, and explore new approaches. There’s no pressure to arrive at a working solution.
You can code in the language of your choice – whether it's one you're proficient with, or one you're exploring for the first time. This session is all about collaboration, honing your skills, and expanding your network in a fun and relaxed setting.
Throughout the event, we’ll share ideas, discuss best practices, and take the opportunity to learn from one another. A basic knowledge of programming is recommended to get the most out of the session, but you don’t need to be an expert.
Food and drinks will be provided, with vegetarian and vegan options available.
