(Online) PHP 8, and Happy Developers

This month we have two talks from two guest speakers.

We're happy to have Christopher Miller (@ccmiller2018) back again to speak about PHP 8, and Matt Hunt about happy Developers and how organisations can foster the talent they have got and ultimately have a happy workforce.

What's new in PHP 8:

An exploration of PHP 8 with Developer Christopher Miller. Chris will be guiding everyone through the latest features and will be demonstrating how you can remain compliant and not break the PHP 7 support as much as possible.
