Why take this course?

GraphQL is indeed changing the way APIs are built and many companies and developers are already adopting it because of the great features it introduces over REST. This is a practical course where you’ll learn GraphQL by building a fully-featured API for a forum completely scratch. We’ll start with a gentle introduction to GraphQL and look at some of its improvements over REST, then we gradually move on to building a GraphQL API. This course does not only teach you how to build a real-world GraphQL API from scratch but also some of the best practices from the GraphQL community.

- english (accent) is not that perceivable - zoom in the screen much needed - content must be reviewed

The presenter does not really explain (or hasn't so far) what this data model is and we're just seeing him set-up some DB without understanding why. No explanation of what Migrators etc. are.

A perfect pace with clear example as well catch oneself in a typo, because we all need to be reminded to look out for them and correct them early.

The best tutorial I found so far on GraphQl! Now reading certain parts of the apollo documents is way easier than before. I already started building an application using the apollo server. Look forward to more advanced GraphQL content.

The course was awesome from the start to the end. I suggest if you dont know nothing about GraphQL you must read about it a bit to have a better understanding of the course, because the instructor goes a bit too fast in some parts of the course. Really nice course in overall and very complete, I learnt a lot from it Can you tell me what is yours favorite client side framework to work with graphQL (Angular,React,Vue) if you have one ? Thanks
