I really enjoyed making this GraphQL video, and would love to make more videos about learning a single topic in one video. Let me know if you have any topics that you would want me to cover in a similiar manner.

The clarity of your voice is amazing. I'm 60 years old and don't hear well and it is rare I hear speech readily. Concerning the tool, the required prep is huge. This tool is a gift for contractors that charge by the hour if it is meant to be a replacement for SQL. It seems to be much more that SQL. Pardon my comparison to SQL, but it has been and still is the query tool of my career. Thank you.

All these channel videos are gems. By the way, if somebody else is facing the error "TypeError: expressGraphQL is not a function" just replace the import from
const expressGraphQL = require("express-graphql");
to
const { graphqlHTTP } = require("express-graphql");

This is excellent. I usually see others jumping right into Apollo, which has lots of abstraction. But this tutorial shows more lower level hands on approach of graphQL.

The best part in the video is in between 0:00 to 39:43

[dougiehawes]

const expressGraphQL = require("express-graphql");
-- should be --
const { graphqlHTTP } = require("express-graphql");

I kept getting an error till I looked up the documentation

You are by far the best when explaining Javascript. Much love from Nigeria

[awabelmahe]

Best teacher ever. Straight to the point, and not a single second wasted. Thank you very much for this great video.

[steveroseik]

I Have wasted like 4-8 hours minimum with many tutorials, none of them provide full explanation and implementation clearly, yours was straight to the point, understandable and magically easy to comprehend and apply, love it.

mans straight out of the twilight saga

As an FYI -- You can run `npm init -y` and it will enter in all default values for you :) Hope that helps. Fantastic video. I love your explanations!

[arnoldtanjunhan]

Didn't know anything about GraphQL, so glad this was the first video I watched. Such a great exposition. Thanks!

[andrewbrower]

This video walkthrough explains GraphQL in such a crystal-clear way. Not surprised to see high-quality content coming from WDS. Thanks for this excellent tut

[shashankabs]

Amazingly made video. In 40 mins you have added almost everything that's required to develop an enterprise level apps.

[RahulinWeb]

completed the tutorial and everthikng worked . one except one thing in start which was already given as solution by someone in one of the comments. so happy I followed through it.

[shonoma]

3 minutes into this video and I'm already learning so much more than struggling through countless google searches.
Thank you for this video!

[CharrliePradeep]

Its really an interesting video for GraphQL. I could able to understand most of the concepts within some minutes. As Dougie mentioned I had that error as well
const expressGraphQL = require("express-graphql");
-- should be --
const { graphqlHTTP } = require("express-graphql");

After changing that it worked like butter. Thanks for the video :)

[whoami......]

This was by far more helpful than many other videos that I stumbled upon here. straight to the point without too much condescending blabber, thanks a lot!

[CliffordFajardo]

Really awesome introduction. The setup of an in memory datastore was great as it made learning the concepts easier.
A lot people fail to mention that one of the big costs of GraphQL is for backend engineers, not the UI engineers querying the data though 😃
Still a good technology to be aware of.

This is a very helpful video to learn the basics of building a graphql server. Very well presented! Try coding along with the presenter.
