PHP 8, Exploring New Features

After 5 years, PHP's major version is being upgraded. Please take a look at the new features of PHP 8 and see how PHP is becoming similar to other languages and moving toward the future. Since it's a short lecture of about 1 hour, you can watch it casually. I hope this lecture will help improve the image of PHP as a language, even if just a little.

Version: PHP 8.0.0 Beta 4 (2020.09.17)
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc
Example code: Available for download in the 『01 - Course Introduction (Orientation)』 lecture.

Goodbye to legacy,
