Web Development
GraphQL API Development
Six weeks from a first schema to a production-minded API
A six-week classroom course that follows the Learn section of graphql.org: first the language — schemas and types, queries, mutations, subscriptions, validation, execution and introspection — then the best-practice lessons on serving over HTTP, authorization, pagination, schema design, error handling, caching, performance and security. This course prepares for no exam.
