Overview
With GraphQL and Apollo, data flow in APIs is clean, lean, and simple to master. Brought to you by Azat Mardan, best-selling author and founder of Node University, this liveVideo course will provide you with all the skills necessary to start using GraphQL and Apollo. As you build a completely self-contained application, you’ll discover firsthand how easy and effective your front-end applications can be when using GraphQL and Apollo!
About the Technology
GraphQL, a data query and manipulation language, is the open source community’s answer to the growing complexity of the data landscape of front-end web applications. GraphQL’s ease of querying complex data—and returning nothing more nor less than necessary—makes it a simpler, more efficient, and flexible alternative to other web service architectures.
Built on the GraphQL specification, Apollo is a powerful set of tools and libraries which implements extensive research and feedback from the user community. Rich with features and techniques that simplify the data-layers within organizations, it makes rollouts of new deployments faster and easier.
About the Video
In Learning Clientside GraphQL with Apollo, you’ll learn the benefits of using GraphQL with Apollo and how this robust stack can solve problems that can arise when working with data from front-end APIs. You’ll gain hands-on experience as you build a self-contained voting application, complete with a database and front-end and backend applications. Your project will allow users to vote a topic up or down, propose new topics, and leave comments on topics.
What's Inside
About the Reader
For front-end web developers familiar with Javascript and the fundamentals of Node and HTML. Knowledge of GraphQL and Apollo may be helpful, but is not necessary.
