PragueJS Summer Workshops 2019

Workshop - React + TypeScript + GraphQL + Apollo
In this hands-on, two-day workshop, you'll learn GraphQL from the ground up. We'll learn how to write queries, mutations, and subscriptions with the GraphQL query language. Once we understand how to interact with a GraphQL endpoint, you will design your own schema and implement your own GraphQL services with Node.js and Express. Upon leaving this course, attendees will be ready to build full stack applications with GraphQL, Apollo, and React.

You will
Get experience with TypeScript in real React application
Learn how to write queries, mutations, and subscriptions with the GraphQL query language.
Design your own schema and implement your own GraphQL services with Node.js and Express.

What you need to have:
Intermediate JavaScript Knowledge
Basic knowledge of React
Ensure that you have git installed on your machine (the workshop material will be communicated through a GitHub repository).
