This course was written to be as practical as possible. It offers an interactive learning experience, starting off with a general introduction to GraphQL and proceeding to allow you to play with GraphQL Queries and Mutations using GitHub’s GraphQL API.

After getting you comfortable with the basics of GraphQL, the course moves on to how to use GraphQL with React and then on how to integrate it with Apollo Client. You'll implement an issue tracker application using GraphQL combined with both React and Apollo Client.

Finally, with this course Educative introduces its newest feature: A live VM. You will now have access to a terminal with a native look and feel where you can modify code and see changes in real time - all inside your browser!
