Introduction to Realtime GraphQL for React Developers

Developers interested in GraphQL can come to this workshop and learn how to build full-fledged and full stack React apps with GraphQL using an open-source stack. Unlike your typical GraphQL workshop, this one will also take you through taking care of the backend to fully understand how a Fullstack GraphQL project works, thanks to the open source Hasura GraphQL Engine that will be used though, you won’t be spending too much time either writing server code and will be able to focus on your React app.

Marion will be covering the following topics:

GraphQL basics
Introduction to building a GraphQL backend with Hasura
Using GraphiQL to explore and test your GraphQL API
Setting up a GraphQL client with Apollo
Fetching and rendering data in your react app with GraphQL queries
Inserting data with GraphQL mutations
Updating, deleting data with GraphQL mutations
Realtime GraphQL — Building a realtime UI with live-queries over GraphQL subscriptions

Introduction to Elm

In this one-day workshop, Frontend Masters instructor and Elm in Action author Richard Feldman will take you from zero Elm knowledge to being able to use it on your next project.

Over the course of the day you will:

Gain practical Elm experience building an application that communicates with GitHub’s API
Develop an understanding of the Elm Architecture and how it organizes Web applications
Interoperate between Elm and JavaScript so you can access the best of both ecosystems
Learn functional programming techniques that are useful both in Elm and in other languages
Along the way, Richard will answer your questions and personally assist you in your journey into Elm. His goal will be for you to leave the workshop feeling confident in your ability to use Elm on your next project.
