The core of every application is it's data. Even in a brave new microservices world, data is key. I built my own REST services, tried OData for a while, but kept wondering is this it? Shouldn't there be a better solution out there for me? Until I discovered GraphQL, the data query and manipulation language created by Facebook, and felt in love with it's simplicity, power and flexibility. In this session I'll explain the basic building blocks of the GraphQL language, why you should use it and share lessons from hands-on experience. You'll leave this session with everything you need to know to get started with GraphQL in your ASP.NET(Core) applications.
