I would like to say that I am developing a rhythm in working through this book, but alas, that hasn’t happened yet. I got caught up in some twists while trying to make it through this first technical chapter of the book, so I’ll cover those here in case someone comes across this series of
So before getting into the dirt and gritty of what “The Road to GraphQL” has to offer, I have to prepare some stuff on my system, and github for the sake of being able to follow along with the examples in this book. In this post I’m going to talk about my experience getting things
This entry and the next is going to be hard for me because the first two chapters of “The Road to GraphQL” (TRtGQL) mostly explain what GraphQL and Apollo are. I don’t want these post to be a review of the first two chapters, but at the same time, I think it will best serve
