Introduction to GraphQL and Graphene
May 25, 2019, 10:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Please prepare the workshop as described here: https://github.com/Speedy1991/graphql_workshop
This workshop will cover the GraphQL basics with an interactive workshop. I'll give you a short introduction to each exercise and you will work on a solution.
Each exercise is about 10-15 minutes long and will cover one of the topics described below. After a short Q&A after each exercise we'll go to the next one.
When you finish the workshop, you will have the knowledge how to build your own GraphQL schema which is connected to the Django DB. Django knowledge is appreciated, but it will be doable even if you never worked with Django before.
The basic setup for the project will be given, and you will just write the GraphQL related things.
