Hello everyone. Author here :-) I released the book 48 hours ago and I am overwhelmed by the positive reactions. The last 10 months I put lots of work into it and finally released it as a top quality and up-to-date resource for people who want to learn GraphQL in JavaScript.

If you are interested in the content, checkout the release blog post that is used here on HN. The book comes with 4 applications, client- and server-side, that you will build along the way, 350 pages, 45+ exercises, 400+ code snippets.

I would be curious how you like the content, but also what other content you would have expected in this book. Thanks to all of you again!

Seems like a solid book to me. I wrote one myself in the last 3 months and now it seems like nothing compared to yours, haha.

I'll definitely read it. I like the fact that it focuses on Apollo and not Relay.

What's wrong with Relay ? (true question)

Nothing is wrong with it; it's just more opinionated than Apollo.

>In another life, I wanted to do music[...]Eventually, I decided to code and started to enjoy it too. Still, music is one reason why I am staying partly in Berlin. Nowhere else, I believe, will you find such a great selection of electronic music.

Listening to your SoundCloud now. You're an inspiration!

This looks awesome! I've been using essentially the same stack (postgres, sequelize, nodeJS, Apollo server + client) for ~1 year now and built it to be Relay compliant. I'm interested to see how our approaches compare. :)

Great job. This is a great resource for a person like myself that is getting into the world of GraphQL
