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,
A modern PHP basics bible for beginners!

AI literacy refers to the "ability for general users, not just technicians, to effectively utilize AI in their practical work and daily lives," as well as the "competency to critically evaluate AI." This is a practice-oriented literacy course designed for non-experts to understand the core knowledge for "utilizing" AI well—covering everything from prompt engineering to security understanding, expansion, automation, and the structure of language models.
