What's New in PHP 7

Lightning Session by one of Minus40's digital problem solvers, Paul McBride.

Paul will give us a brief run-through of PHP 7's new features,  deprecated things to watch out for and of course tell us all why we need to make the move to PHP 7 (hint the answer may have something to do with Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves and a runaway bus)
