An event for

Developers, testers, architects, decision-makers, and curious practitioners

NewCrafts is a welcoming, annual, global, and independent event centered around software development, taking place in Paris, France.

We believe it's essential not only to create functional code but also to reflect on how we craft it. Let's embrace new insights into our crafting abilities, development approaches, and any assumptions we may carry with us.

Over the course of two days, NewCrafts offers engaging presentations from experts, hands-on workshops, and invaluable conversations that continue all day long!

Advanced Software Architecture with Residuality

Residuality theory is a revolutionary new theory of software design that aims to make it easier to design software systems for complex business environments. Residuality theory models software systems as interconnected residues - an alternative to component and process modeling that uses applied complexity science to make managing uncertainty a fundamental part of the design process.

Software Architecture, the Hard Parts

Dive into the core of software architecture with this engaging training session that goes beyond "best practices." Architects often face novel challenges where no pre-written solutions exist—this is where the real art lies: identifying and balancing trade-offs to make informed decisions tailored to your unique environment. Through a mix of dynamic lectures and collaborative hands-on exercises, participants will explore key topics like architectural decomposition, service granularity, distributed data management, and the nuances of coupling and contracts. Designed for architects, aspiring architects, and developers navigating complex systems, this session equips you with practical strategies to confidently tackle the unknown and design resilient, scalable solutions. No laptops needed—just a browser and a sharp mind!

Architecture as Code: Making Architecture Work

Transform the way you approach software architecture in this hands-on course that redefines architecture as code. Learn how to ensure alignment between design, implementation, and business objectives using fitness function-driven architecture. By exploring intersections with implementation, data topologies, infrastructure, engineering practices, team dynamics, and even generative AI, participants will master the art of defining and governing architectural elements through tests and automated verification. Packed with coding exercises, this workshop empowers architects and developers to create resilient, adaptable systems while ensuring continuous alignment with technical and business environments. Ideal for architects, aspiring architects, and developers working in complex systems, this course is your next step in mastering architecture governance.

Technical Coaching Masterclass

Designed for tech leads and senior developers, this session equips you with practical coaching techniques to foster technical growth and collaboration within your team. Learn how to run impactful "learning hour" sessions, adapt activities to your team's needs, and strengthen critical skills like TDD, refactoring, and legacy code management. This is hands-on training for those who want to inspire better coding practices, lead engaging discussions, and create a collaborative, safe environment for technical growth—all without needing to be a full-time coach. Perfect for anyone eager to elevate their team while honing their own leadership skills.

Keeping it Simple

Simplicity isn't just an aesthetic—it's a powerful force that impacts cost, maintenance, and collaboration. But what does "simple" really mean, and how do we achieve it in our code, architecture, and organizational culture? This workshop dives into the roots of complexity, distinguishing between essential and accidental complexity, value demand versus failure demand, and simple versus simplistic solutions. Through discussions, real-world coding examples, and interactive group exercises, developers and architects will learn how to strip away unnecessary complexity, avoid speculative "future-proofing," and recognize the trade-offs between simplicity and technical debt.

🇫🇷 Le Domain-Driven Design stratégique 🇫🇷

Découvrez les principes et pratiques du Domain-Driven Design (DDD) stratégique pour concevoir des architectures faiblement couplées et centrées sur votre domaine métier. Guidé par le DDD Starter Modelling Process, cet atelier pratique vous permettra, entre autres, de décomposer un domaine métier complexe, d’identifier les Bounded Contexts ou de cartographier les relations grâce aux Context Maps. Cette formation immersive, mêlant 90% de pratique à 10% de théorie, vous donnera les clés pour collaborer efficacement, modéliser votre domaine et valider vos choix à l’aide d’outils et techniques comme l’EventStorming et les Diagrammes de flux de messages.

🇫🇷 Architecture Modulaire et Pragmatique 🇫🇷

Cette formation présente la démarche et les raisonnements, introduit les concepts essentiels, dont certains empruntés à DDD, couvre les techniques et patterns clés d’architecture ainsi que les principales technologies nécessaires pour les mettre en œuvre. Et puisque cette mise en œuvre commence le plus souvent sur des systèmes existants, cette formation décrit aussi des trajectoires de migration et de cohabitation avec le legacy, ainsi que les enjeux humains associés.
