Honeypot Tech Talks: GraphQL, the Future of the API

In the first Honeypot Tech Talk of the year, Oleg Ilyenko and Yann Simon will discuss GraphQL, Facebook's open-sourced query language, its use and the possibilities it offers developers and startups.

The event is organized by Honeypot (http://www.honeypot.io/?utm_source=ttGql), Europe's developer platform, and sponsored byTechCode (http://www.techcode.com/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=28&id=10).

"When we built Facebook's mobile applications, we needed a data-fetching API powerful enough to describe all of Facebook, yet simple enough to be easy to learn and use by our product developers. We developed GraphQL (https://code.facebook.com/posts/1691455094417024/graphql-a-data-query-language/) three years ago to fill this need." Facebook
