Course Overview
Learn and master GraphQL by building real web apps with React and Node
Note: This course assumes you are familiar with React!
If you're tired of spinning your wheels trying to figure out what type of backend server to use, this is the course for you.
Authentication? You will learn it. Apollo Data? Included. Integration with React? Of course!
This course will get you up and running with GraphQL quickly, and teach you the core knowledge you need to deeply understand and build React applications quickly.
Both OSX and Windows supported.
We'll start by mastering the fundamentals of GraphQL, including data types, schemas, and integration with Express and React. Source code is provided for each lecture, so you will always stay up-to-date with the course pacing. Special attention has been paid to creating code that you'll be able to make use of on your own fantastic projects.
If you are new to GraphQL, or if you've been working to learn it but sometimes feel like you still don't quite 'get it', this is the GraphQL course for you! To learn GraphQL you have to understand it.
- Learn how to use GraphQL's schema to define relations between your data objects
- Learn the process of combining a backend server with a front end React
- Master the process of thinking about your applications data in terms of a graph structure
- Grasp the difference between GraphQL, Apollo, and Relay, and when to use each
- Develop apps that are unique, fun, and responsive.
- Build servers that can be used with both React and React Native applications
- Master handling authentication with GraphQL
- Learn the core principles of navigation with React Router and GraphQL
I've built the course that I would have wanted to take when I was learning GraphQL. A course that explains the concepts and how they're implemented in the best order for you to learn and deeply understand them.

Outdated. Not Relevant anymore.

Critics: 1) There was no need to use outdated React class components. No one is using them now. Function components would work just as good for this course. 2) There are too many examples for how to use React, which make this course long and does not add value to those studying GraphQL Good stuff: Good presentation skills! Good course structure.

The content is good but only for around 2018, today is 2025. It is not updated on GraphQL and React sides. Additionally the course totally missing out on GraphQL "route" protection topic on the server side. Again for 2018 I would put a higher score, but for 2025 it absolutely needs to clearly state that content is outdated in order not to mislead students.
