We will be learning everything from scratch and thus you can be a GraphQL beginner to take this course. However, we will be using JavaScript as our primary language and thus some JS knowledge is ideal. We will also connect our server to the frontend and we will be using React as our client. Thus any frontend knowledge would be good but not unnecessary.
This course will teach you:
- - What is GraphQL
- - What are the benefits of GraphQL
- - Learn GraphQL terminology
- - How to build a GraphQL server
- - Modern design principles
- - Adding Authentication
- - Working with Prisma v3 to interact with a Postgres DB
- - Connecting GraphQL to the client
- - Improve performance by learning about the n + 1 problem and solving it will data loaders
