Life is hard and so is learning GraphQL

Learning a new technology can be daunting. For many of us, the way we try to make sense of a new technology is through their documentation and the examples we see online. The problem with GraphQL is that - because there’s no “vanilla” GraphQL - there’s no central hub for all of the information and tooling necessary to learn. While documentation is meant to serve as a tool for teaching, it’s under-utilized and scattered throughout the community. Consider this talk a voyage through the ups and downs of learning GraphQL as a frontend developer. Along the way, we’ll touch on the major pain points faced by many GraphQL newcomers and how we can leverage our existing knowledge to expedite learning.
