Course Overview
Learn and master GraphQL with Node and React by building real production ready applications
This course will teach you how to build a GraphQL API from absolute scratch. It is taught by a developer that has over 3 years of experience with GraphQL and has worked with it in multiple enterprise companies. By the end of this crash course, you will become an expert and know more than 99% of GraphQL hobbyists. This course isn't just aimed to teach you GraphQL, but how to properly utilize it in a real application. I hope you enjoy it!
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.

- 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

Pros: - Explained in a friendly language, which makes the content easy to follow. - Good to understand Graphql basics. Cons: - Heroku doesn't provide free Postgresql instances anymore, I would have planned the course with a local DB setup instead of relying in third party cloud products. - I believe this big "auth" section isn't needed to understand the Graphql concept. It misguides the user with bad example such as JWT dispensed on signup rather than sign in. Since the purpose of the course is not to focus on web auth itself, why not do a simpler thing? - I don't think a React application is needed for a proof of concept like this, it takes a lot to understand for people that haven't used React. I think a better idea would have been to do with no framework or with a simpler framework, at least.
