Derick Rethans will be presenting a talk on 'The La(te)st PHP 7 - What's new in PHP 7.4'
"During this presentation, we are going to look at the new features that were introduced in PHP 7.4. Join me to have a look at how the type system is strengthened with typed properties and co- and contra-variance of methods, what changes to operator precedence are, and which new features, such as pre-loading classes, are going to be introduced. At the end you will have a good understand about all the new and exciting features that are going to be part of the recent PHP 7.4 release. After we have looked at what you can already use, we'll have a preview of PHP 8, with its JIT, Union Types and other new features."

Ashley Upson will be discussing & opening the floor for 'CMS & Laravel Project Discussions'
"Well these projects sound all well and good, but how far do you actually think about how best to build it as an open source package before you start?"
