GraphQL Fullstack Developer Roadmap

WIP

Resources

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

High-level GraphQL tools of today won't probably exist 1-2 years ahead.
At least not in their current form.
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.

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Not bad but outdated.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.
