What You Will Learn?

  • GraphQL is one of the biggest buzz words in web development right now. .
  • But what is it, and what can it do for your projects?.
  • GraphQL can be a replacement for the traditional REST API, which is a much more flexible approach to getting the data your application needs. .
  • *** Please note this class uses Prisma v1 ***.
  • This course is designed to give you a good understanding of what GraphQL is, and how it can be used to create a backend (server/API) for any frontend, such as a website or mobile device..
  • GraphQL is compatible with most popular programming languages, and we will cover a Javascript/Node.js based approach in this course..
  • GraphQL can seem intimidating when first trying to understand it, but we will cover all of the fundamentals you will need to get going, along with applying everything to a project..
  • This course also covers how to use Prisma, which we will use model our data, and interact with our database..
  • Since GraphQL is designed for the backend, we will not be creating a traditional website or app, instead we will be creating the backend (server & database) for a movie review application..
  • We will use a tool called the GraphQL Playground to interact with our server and test everything works as it should..
  • The course is fully project based so everything you learn will be immediately fit into a project to see how it works..
  • Here are some of the key things you will discover during this course:.
  • Although this course is aimed at GraphQL newcomers, a little background in Javascript will really help. Along with a basic overview of web concepts such as frontend, backend, server, database etc, this is not essential, but it will help you get the most out of this course..
  • If you are wondering what all the hype around GraphQL is, or looking to get into the backend world of web apps, then this is the course for you! .
  • *** You can find attached to the project section of this course all of the course code, for each stage, to help with any problems or typos you may encounter.
  • And also a sample data file we will use for the course ***.
