+Laravel's [Illuminate Collections](https://laravel.com/docs/collections) are a powerful object-orientated way of interacting with PHP arrays, but did you know that they can be used outside of Laravel, in any PHP project?
+
+This short talk shows how we can use Composer to include Illuminate Collections within a non-Laravel project and put them to use within your own code.
