GraphQL Developer Roadmap for 2019

GraphQL Fullstack Developer Roadmap

WIP

Resources

I suggest you to avoid GraphQL tutorials that rely on Prisma/Hasura/Postgraphile/Autho0 and other proprietary stacks.

1. High-level GraphQL tools of today won't probably exist 1-2 years ahead.
2. At least not in their current form.
3. They're hightly unstable: APIs & concepts change rapidly.

GraphQL on itself hovewer (being a language) changes slow and gracefully. So learn fundamentals first and consider those code generators after you get some real-world experience with GraphQL.

Recommended

• GraphQL for absolute beginners (YouTube) (basics)
  For absolute beginners. Great introductory series.
• GraphQL by example (Udemy) (fullstack)
  A rare exception of a good cource at Udemy. Depth and pacing are up to the point.
• Introduction to GraphQL (FrontendMasters) (server)
  A good course on the basics.
• Advanced GraphQL (FrontendMasters) (server)
  Despite the name, it's quite basic. Watch it right after the previous one.
• Apollo Client with React (LevelUp) (client)
  A good intro to Apollo Client.

Not Recommended

• GraphQL: Scalable APIs (PluralSight) (server)
  Not bad but outdated. The sequence of topics could be better.
• Modern GraphQL bootcamp (Udemy) (fullstack)
  Good beginning, then switches to Prisma and things get messy.
• Advanced React and GraphQL (Wes Bos) (fullstack)
  Relies on Prisma. Attempts to teach you Markup & CSS, React, and GraphQL in parallel.
• GraphQL with React (Udemy) (fullstack)
  It's not bad but way too slow and bloated for my taste.
• How to GraphQL (HowToGraphQL.com) (fullstack)
  Sneakingly inserts Prisma into the narrative.
• Designing GraphQL schemas (Egghead.com) (fullstack)
  Had many unfullfilled hopes for this course. It consists of 50% trivias and 50% highly debatable advices.
