SUMMARY:Never* Use Arrays
DESCRIPTION:PHP loves its arrays. Arrays are the uber-data structure. They'
 re a list\, a map\, a stack\, a queue\, everything in one! Which is the pr
 oblem.\n\nModern PHP grossly over-uses arrays. In most cases there are bet
 ter options today\, and when you find yourself reaching for "oh I'll just 
 make this an associative array"\, stop. An extra 60 seconds of thought and
  code will often give you a more readable\, faster\, more memory-efficient
 \, more flexible alternative. Classes\, iterables\, and collections can an
 d should replace arrays in most of your day to day coding.\n\nThis talk wi
 ll go through what PHP arrays actually are (hint: they are not\, in fact\,
  arrays at all)\, why they're so problematic\, and what to do instead. By 
 the end\, you should find yourself (almost) never reaching for arrays to s
 olve a problem.\n\nSpeaker: Larry Garfield\n\nSponsor: https://www.neighbo
