Course Description:
Unlock the Power of Data Fetching with GraphQL 📊
- Server Side: Dive into setting up your own GraphQL API using Apollo Server, integrated with Node.js and Express, to handle backend requests efficiently.
- Client Side: Learn how to create responsive user interfaces with React, and interact with your GraphQL API using either GraphQL-Request or the powerful Apollo Client. For real-time applications, we'll cover subscriptions using GraphQL-WS to keep clients updated in real-time.
This course is designed to provide you with more than just a set of tools; it aims to impart a foundational understanding of GraphQL concepts. You'll start by writing a simple client "by hand" to ensure you grasp the GraphQL over HTTP format. Only then will we introduce specific GraphQL client libraries, ensuring you understand the core principles behind the scenes.
This course is tailored for developers with good knowledge of modern JavaScript. If you have prior experience with Node.js/Express and React, you'll be well-equipped to understand the concepts and implement them effectively. Whether you're looking to enhance your current skill set or planning to build new applications from scratch, this course will equip you with the practical skills needed to master GraphQL.
