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.

GraphQL is a data query language for APIs. GraphQL is also an execution engine for loading data from server to client. It is the much-needed alternative to the traditional REST API. This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at web developers who wish to develop an advanced node application using GraphQL. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create mutations to enable clients to manipulate data in databases.
• Script an automated test suite for a node application.
• Use GraphQL schemas to define data interaction.
• Secure node application data with an authentication system.

Format of the Course

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

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 (online or onsite) 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.

Hasura GraphQL Engine is an open source product built for fast, secure, and scalable data access. It provides real-time GraphQL queries across data sources and efficient data transformations with Postgres. This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at database administrators and developers who wish to use Hasura to build, access, and manage databases and applications efficiently with GraphQL. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up the necessary development environment to start building databases with Hasura.
• Build, run, manage data access and queries on Hasura using GraphQL models.
• Secure data access by setting up authentication with JSON Web Tokens and Firebase.
• Extend database functions by integrating business logic.
• Manage database migrations and metadata effectively on Hasura to prevent data loss.

Format of the Course

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