GraphQL is really fun to work with as the front-end consumer of the end-point! The Star Wars API, and Github both have GraphQL endpoints you can get started with in your learning path if you haven't come across these already!

The biggest pain point I have found so far in getting started with GraphQL was implementing it on the back-end. Have you found any road blocks yet?

I haven't started yet, but I want to follow some links from this tutorial: howtographql.com/

Did you already know??

In the beginning of my GraphQL journey I followed that tutorial along with some more practical examples as well. I've found howtographql.com to be REALLY informative, so you should be in good hands!
This also helped a lot: tutorialspoint.com/graphql/index.htm

And, while not necessary, I found that using Apollo client for GraphQL made things a lot easier. You really don't need Apollo for anything GraphQL, and you can make your queries with a simple POST request, but using Apollo Client to consume a GraphQL endpoint on my React applications was pretty seamless. When you're ready for that part of your learning journey, this is a pretty good tutorial as well: apollographql.com/docs/tutorial/in...
