Make a GraphQL API using one of the hottest languages!

Golang is quickly becoming one of the most appreciated backend languages. With it's strong standard library, you can go really far without adding dependencies.

In this tutorial we will use gqlgen, a library made for building a GraphQL API.

Why use gqlgen over other libraries?

One reason: everything is typed. You will almost never need to use an empty interface

How does gqlgen work?

By using Schema First design, gqlgen will generate the Go code for you. This way all your resolvers will be typed safely.

So what does that mean?

You create your API using GraphQL Schema definition language with the shape you want. And you let gqlgen do all the heavy lifting.

So what's left to do then?

You just need to plug your business logic into the resolvers, that's it.

FAQs

Is this course for me?

This course is designed for people who already have basic Golang knowledge, it isn't meant as an introduction to the language. I want to show you how to build a project.

What make me a good teacher for this course?

I've been a programming teacher and tutor for almost 6 years.
I have more than 10 000 subscribers on my Youtube channel, where I share free content.
More importantly, I've been an avid Golang user for the past 4 years and I love it. I've spent countless hours searching online for solutions to problems I've encountered, and I want to share all that knowledge with you.
This is the course that I was looking for 4 years ago when I started out with Golang.
