Course Overview

GraphQL is a modern query language developed by Facebook that enables clients to request exactly the data they need, making APIs more efficient and flexible. As applications become increasingly data-driven, GraphQL offers a powerful alternative to REST APIs by reducing over-fetching and under-fetching of data. For beginners stepping into modern web development, understanding GraphQL is essential for building scalable, maintainable APIs that enhance performance and developer experience.

This course begins with the fundamentals of GraphQL, explaining its purpose, differences from REST, and the core concepts behind its graph structure and server anatomy. Learners will explore GraphQL schemas, types, queries, mutations, and subscriptions. Practical examples such as building a blogging web app will be used to reinforce key concepts. The course also covers resolvers, client-server architecture, and modern GraphQL tools like Hasura, Apollo, and AWS AppSync. Finally, learners will gain hands-on experience by creating and deploying a GraphQL API using Apollo, along with testing it through CURL and Postman.

This chapter-based course equips beginners with the foundational skills to build, query, and manage modern GraphQL APIs with real-world applicability.
