The Evolution of GraphQL - Differentiating from REST API Testing

It's June, the sun is out and soon we'll be wishing it would go away and give us a bit of rest. Come on out to the last yvrTesting before we break for the summer months.

Speaking of REST... do you know what GraphQL is, do you know how it's different from REST? It's definitely a topic that intrigues to me. To that end, Rajib Rahman from Slalom Build is going to speak to us about it, clear up the fog surrounding the concepts and give us take aways to help us be more successful.
