GraphQL Workshop

Moon Highway logo

Want to learn GraphQL but you’re not sure where to get started? Get a solid foundation in this hands-on, two-day workshop.

In this course, we're going to learn GraphQL, a special way to ask internet servers questions. We are going to learn how to ask these servers all sorts of questions at once and allow them to provide all of the answers in a single response. Then we'll build our own GraphQL servers with Node.js that can answer questions that originate with any client. On the second day, we’ll build a client-side application with Apollo Client and React.
