Are you still on PHP 5.6-which will be EOL'd at the end of this year?!  PHP 7 was released at the very end of 2015 and brought with it long awaited features to the PHP programming language while striving to keep backwards-compatibility. In this talk, I'll cover the new features including Static Type Hints, new operators, array de-referencing that you can use in your own Drupal modules to make your life easier. I'll also introduce a tool to assess how ready an existing PHP 5 codebase is to migrate to PHP 7.
