GraphQL Training Courses

GraphQL, developed by Facebook in 2012 and then open-sourced in 2015, is a data query language for better data fetching performance with mobile devices. It provides an alternative to REST and gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need, nothing more and nothing less, from databases on a server.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn the fundamentals of GraphQL as they step through the creation of a simple API with GraphQL.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

- Understand what GraphQL is and what distinguishes it from REST.
- Understand top-level GraphQL terms.
- Set up a GraphQL coding environment.
- Build and improve a GraphQL API.

Format of the Course

- Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice.

React is a Javascript library for building fast and smooth interactive web pages. Together with the Flux architecture and the GraphQL query language, extremely powerful and efficient web applications can be built.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to build React applications using Flux and GraphQL. The course covers installation, setup, integration, testing, deployment and best practices as it walks participants through the creation of a series of sample applications that demonstrate how to add additional levels of complexity and "coolness" to an application using the most advanced toolkits and techniques.

Developing applications with React requires a different kind of thinking, compared to what some developers are accustomed to, especially when coming from the mindset of other MVC frameworks such as AngularJS and Bootstrap.

This training covers the fundamentals behind of the technologies used each step of the way so that participants are not only able to build a functional application, but also understand why a particular approach is used. This lays the groundwork for thinking independently and creatively about the design and the desired results for building their own applications in the future.

In the years following 2010, the switch from native web platforms to their mobile counterpart required a more efficient data request system. At the time, companies relied on RESTful services that proved to be faulty due to their inability to adapt to convoluted requests in React applications, resulting in slow response times. In order to overcome this obstacle, Facebook engineers created services known as GraphQL and Relay. GraphQL simplifies the client to API relationship by automating requests while the JavaScript framework, Relay, manages data in React applications. Both Relay and GraphQL are used to optimize a React application's UI.

This instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote) is aimed at developers who wish to use GraphQL and Relay to manage data in React applications.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

- Set up the necessary development environment to start data control for React applications.
- Deliver instant UI-response interactions.
- Aggregate data from multiple libraries into one convenient API.
- Pre-fetch using GraphQL and Relay.

Format of the Course

- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
