Our Verdict

Though The Modern GraphQL Bootcamp offers a solid grounding in fundamental concepts and is presented by an engaging instructor, it's important to note that this course has not been updated for several years. This aged material results in frustration as the tools covered are severely outdated, creating confusion when attempting to follow along using more recent library versions. The course might still provide value if you don't mind updating and modifying the content to suit your current needs or if you can ignore the discrepancies between obsolete and updated approaches.
