The best way to learn any technology is by building something with it - GraphQL is no different!

In this hands-on workshop, we will create a ToDo list application in order to get a deeper understanding of the ins and outs of building production-ready GraphQL APIs including development, security, and publishing of the APIs.

What we will cover:
- An overview of the project
- Setting up the project - Apollo
- Setting up the project - MongoDB
- Creating our first query and resolver
- Adding Todo list item(s)
- Viewing Todo list item(s)
- Updating Todo list item(s)
- Deleting Todo list item(s)
- Securing your GraphQL API with Tyk – rate limiting, query depth limiting, field-based permissions

Bonus content (time permitting):
- Building a REACT interface for the ToDo App
- Transforming a REST API into a GraphQL API using Tyk’s Universal Data Graph
- Combining REST APIs into a GraphQL API using Tyk’s Universal Data Graph

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this tutorial is a great way to learn how to use modern technologies to build a scalable and robust Todo application powered by GraphQL. Join us and let's get started!
