Are you stuck developing a project that is still using PHP 5.4? or worse ... 5.3? Older? Upgrading your codebase from an outdated, obsolete version of PHP sounds scary. You've heard from everyone around you about how wonderful the latest and greatest PHP is, but you just don't know where or how to start. Have no fear! I am here to help you get that code up to date, modernized, and sleek! I'll cover some basics of upgrading your PHP installation as well as updating your code. Let's get those 3rd party libraries out of your codebase and let Composer handle them. And we won't stop there. We will get you ready to use namespacing, unit tests, and more. Bring a project that needs this attention and we'll work through some issues as time permits.

Abstract for a half to full day hands-on tutorial/training. (probably better suited to an hour session.)
Was thinking along the lines of hands-on tutorial. Actually having folks bring their legacy projects and getting them started on the road to upgrading.

Has potential as an overview talk, though it's attempting to cover quite a bit for someone who may be using an older version of PHP. Upgrading PHP itself, changes between older versions of PHP and 7, Composer, and autoloading are probably plenty to fill an hour with.
