Learning GraphQL

Preface

Acknowledgments

This book would not be a book without the help of many phenomenal people. It started with the idea from Ally MacDonald, our editor for Learning React, who encouraged us to write Learning GraphQL. We were then very lucky to get to work with Alicia Young, who shepherded the book to its printing. Thanks to Justin Billing, Melanie Yarbrough, and Chris Edwards who sanded off all of the rough edges during an extremely thorough production edit.

Throughout the process, we were fortunate to get feedback from Peggy Rayzis and Sashko Stubailo from the Apollo team who shared their insights and hot tips about the latest features. Thanks also to Adam Rackis, Garrett McCullough, and Shivi Singh, who were excellent technical editors.

We wrote this book about GraphQL because we love GraphQL. We think you will too.
