Join PHP core developer and veteran release manager Daniel Scherzer for a deep dive into the new features, syntax updates, deprecations, and surprises coming in PHP 8.6. While PHP 8.6 is still in active development, and the first alpha candidate won't be tagged until July, it is never too early to start preparing.

Great talk about PHP things coming. Daniel was very knowledgable, and presented the material very well. Him being actively involved in PHP internals was very helpful.

Great examples and discussion of upcoming features already in 8.6 and those that might make it.

Super detailed discussion for a peak behind the curtains on how PHP features become real.
