Description
GraphQL is the new way of building scalable, reliable, and concise API's that any client can consume.
If you want to master GraphQL with Apollo so you can then use, in our case, the Android app as the client, then this course is for you.
This course will get you up and running with GraphQL quickly and teach you the core knowledge you need to deeply understand and build GraphQL APIs and deploy them remotely and incorporate Apollo middleware so you can consume the data in Android applications quickly.
GraphQL fundamentals? Is included.
Building the backend with Node, Express, MongoDB, and Apollo? Also included.
Integration with Native Android App Development? You got it!
If you are new to GraphQL, or if maybe you've dabbled in it for a bit but still want to get a better grasp of GraphQL, then this is certainly a course you should take.
The course follows a linear structure for better retention. Here's what's included ( just a gist of it):
Learn and understand why GraphQL is the desirable way of building succinct APIs
Learn the fundamentals of GraphQL: Scalable types and Schemas
Deep understanding of what Graph in GraphQL means.
Setting up the server-side code with Node and Express, and Javascript.
Setting up MongoDB Collections
GraphQL Queries and Mutations
Creating relationships between your data objects
Deploy the server-side GraphQL project to Heroku
And finally, create an Android App that interfaces with our GraphQL API
As you can see, this course covers all you need to know to become a well-rounded developer. You'll learn the backend and the front-end as well.
GraphQL is a big deal. So much that big companies, such as Facebook ( they created GraphQL ), Shopify, Fairfax, Intuit, KLM, Paypal, Pinterest, Twitter, and so many more, use it!
I created this course with you in mind - I wanted you to get up and to run, creating your own amazing projects with the tools and technologies I cover in the course.
By the end of this course, you will be fluently creating GraphQL API's and tie them up with any client (be it web or Android client). And that's when you will call yourself a true well-rounded developer.
See you inside.
