UNfortunately lots of the exercies didn't work as Xavier explained them due to outdated tools. Apollo playground now looks different. The excersices in Section 2 and 3 could not be built using Xavier's examples. Again due to outdated tools that have changed in the meantime. The course needs to be revised, otherwise it is not useful.

the first part is really good, there are just a few things that change today but it's ok On the other hand, part 2, impossible to complete, nothing works until the end, there are always errors This is due to the fact that the training is old and that many things have changed since then. It was certainly a very good formation before, But today it's over, I can't go to the end I'm stuck halfway

It was a great course to understand GraphQL concepts and development framework introduction but linking with React module was very quick and I found it little hard to understand. Overall it is a great course for beginners.
