    GraphQL is all up in everyone's face right now. Good or bad, it's a great tool.

    In these videos I will walk you through creating a basic GraphQL server using Node.JS to give you a flavour of how it works.

    Many people I talk to who have heard of GraphQL get confused what it is. I was one of those people too. One of the most frequent questions I get asked is, "Is it a database?"...

    This video series will explain how exactly you'd go about talking to your database.

    I'd love any feedback! =)

    PS. I understand this is a very low level intro and doesn't take into consideration a permissions layer. Those are for more advances videos coming soon ;)
