GraphQL Meetup - Oct 22, 2019
Details
Meetup No. 2 will be hosted at Lightspeed Montreal. We will have pizza & soft drinks again (thank you Lightspeed!) and look forward to having you all there to continue building our community around GraphQL.
Our speaker this time is Marc-Andre Giroux:
Part 1: A no BS introduction to GraphQL
Let's take an honest look at what GraphQL is, where we come from, and where the technology is going. In this talk we'll cover why GraphQL was created in the first place, what it looks like, and what it allows us to do. No previous GraphQL experience needed.
Part 2: GraphQL @ GitHub
In part two of this talk we'll dive into the more practical side of things. We'll explore how GitHub is building their public GraphQL API (https://developer.github.com/v4/explorer/). We'll talk about the best practices we've found over time and show what tools we've built over time.
