GraphQL Workshop in Chicago
Interested in GraphQL but you’re not sure where to get started? In this two-day workshop, you'll learn GraphQL from the ground up. We'll start with an overview of graph theory and will learn how to write queries and mutations. 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, students will be ready to build full stack applications with JavaScript, GraphQL, Apollo, and React.
Two diversity tickets are available for this (and every) GraphQL workshop. If you're part of an underrepresented or marginalized group in tech and would like to apply for a free ticket, please complete this form.
Thanks to our event host, Glassdoor, for providing our location.
Glassdoor will also be providing a happy hour after class on Thursday!
