GraphQL is a rapidly growing data query and manipulation language for web APIs. A strong grasp of GraphQL is essential for any software engineer who is developing applications on the modern web.

This course is a comprehensive introduction to building full-stack web applications using GraphQL. You’ll start by implementing a back end and exploring GraphQL’s unique approach to API implementation. After setting up your database, you’ll build a front-end application using React. The application will pass GraphQL queries using an Apollo client to pull information from the back end. You’ll wrap up with an exploration of more advanced GraphQL features, including DataLoader, Apollo client caching, and testing GraphQL applications.

By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to build full stack web applications using GraphQL, React, and Apollo.
