Description

Web API is usually the most important part in a web app.This is how you expose your web app to the world, and to other users, and it must be fast, easy to use, and up-to-date.GraphQL is one of the most advanced and exciting web APIs in the industry today, and it adds a lot of value to any web app. Its great flexibility and many implementations make it an important asset in every developer and architect toolbox.And this practical, hands-on course will make you an expert in GraphQL.We are going to cover all aspects of GraphQL, from the very basics to the most advanced topics. Here are some of the topics we're going to discuss:- How GraphQL stacks against REST API- Basic concepts of GrapgQL- GraphQL Schema- Querying- Mutations- Subscriptions- Developing GraphQL Server and Client- Error handling in GraphQLAnd lots more.Now, in order to make this course as valuable as possible, I made it extremely practical and hands-on.We're going to start working with GraphQL in the very first section, and then working through all the other topics, and we're going to use multiple platforms for that - nodeJS and .NET.Note: You don't have to be a .NET or nodeJS developer to take this course. I'm going to guide you through all the steps in the development process, and make sure everything will work as expected.By the end of this course, you'll be an expert in GraphQL, not just in theory, but in practicality.There is no other course like this! This is the only course that will take you all the way to  be an expert in GraphQL, from the very beginning to topics known to few, and will do that in an extremely practical and hands-on fashion.–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––What do my students have to say about my courses?––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––"well done - The course was very practical" - Sam "Good explanation on the topics covered, "Soft Skills" section is a great addition of topics" - Sergio "[The course] given me the confidence to go out to the market and advertise myself as such [an Architect]" - Mathew"Life Changing" - ArivazhaganAnd lots more…––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Who is this course for?––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Any person who is involved in web development, even system analyst, can profit from this course. That includes:- Junior developers- Senior developers- Architects- Anyone else involved in web developmentIf you're not sure if this course is for you - drop me a note!––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––What are the prerequisites for this course?––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Students are expected to be able to understand code , and to know how the internet is working (HTTP protocol, Request / Response model, and so on).––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––About Me––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––I've been in the software industry for more than 25 years, and a Software Architect for more than 20 years, working with a variety of clients - Fortune 100 enterprises, start-ups, govt. entities, defense, telco, banking, and lots more.I'm an avid speaker and trainer, having trained thousands of students in various courses.I love what I do, and my greatest passion (well, besides my family…) is designing modern, practical, and reliable systems for my clients, using the best possible API.
