What is the session about?
GraphQL is a great way to expose your APIs, and it has changed the way we think about consuming data over HTTP. Not only does GraphQL give us the power to ask for exactly what we want, but it also exposes data in a way that is more aligned with the way we humans think about data. Over the last ten years, GraphQL has progressed from an internal project at Facebook to become the mainstream way for modern applications to interact with the backend. The ecosystem has grown phenomenally, and major players like Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, and Microsoft are committed to GraphQL.

Who is it aimed at?
Developers

Why should you attend?
Learn what is GraphQL and what are the benefits of using GraphQL instead of REST or other technologies? Together in this person session we will explore GraphQL and how it can solve the issues we face with traditional data fetching technologies. After we better understand GraphQL, we will look at how we can build a GraphQL API with Hot Chocolate and ASP.NET Core.

As we look at everyday use cases, we will learn GraphQL’s best practices and patterns. If you like, bring your computer and code along as we not only look at the concepts but go headfirst and apply them in some coding exercises.
