NDev 25 - Introduction to GraphQL

Hey folks! It seems summer's come early and we hope that motivates you to spend an evening indoors talking code with us :).

Peter Walsh, Fancy Hobo & Internet Paladin of HeyOrca (yes those are his titles), is going to be giving an introductory talk on GraphQL. Will GraphQL put REST to rest? You'll have to come to find out!

Introduction to GraphQL

In this talk we'll be covering Facebook's "REST killer" GraphQL. We'll start with an introduction to GraphQL and it's terminology before diving into it's pros/cons versus REST and conclude with a live demo wherein we'll build a simple GraphQL API using NodeJS, express, and GraphQL.js.
