GraphQL London #3 hosted at Facebook

==== this event will be recorded ====

Hi there!

We are really excited about announcing our next meetup that will be hosted at Facebook offices.

Johannes Schikling, from @graphcool (http://twitter.com/graphcool) (Berlin) will talk about using Subscriptions using Apollo and React. Subscriptions are really cool as they bring real-time capabilities to GraphQL. So we are really looking forward to this talk.

Adam D.I. Kramer, will share a sneak preview of the GraphQL Server implementation used at Facebook using Hack, a type-safe compiled PHP. This is the language that Facebook’s IOS/Android apps and Javascript implementations use to fetch data!

Lee Byron, based in San Francisco (Facebook) and co-author of GraphQL (http://graphql.org/) will be answering any questions you have around GraphQL by using #askgraphql on twitter at the end of this event.

Facebook will provide the venue and also some appetizers during this event like beef sliders.

• Using GraphQL subscriptions with Apollo

Johannes Schickling is the co-founder of @graphcool (http://twitter.com/graphcool). Graduated from Entrepreneur First (https://twitter.com/efLDN) 15/16. His personality type is ENTJ. He is also a tuts+ author and passionate about open source, algorithms, math and technology.

In this talk we'll dive deeply into GraphQL subscriptions and see how to use them today in real-world applications with Apollo Client (http://dev.apollodata.com/). We will explore the concepts behind subscriptions and how they work on a full-stack level. By the end of the talk you'll have a good understanding when and when not to use GraphQL (http://graphql.org/) subscriptions and what the future of real-time GraphQL (http://graphql.org/) might look like.
