Crisp intro, thank you so much for writing this, @jahedw. Where would you point people for a good beginning? Any links?

Thanks @jansche ! I made a really basic app for people to play with, to get an idea of how the pieces fit together, you can find it here -> github.com/jah-edw/basic-graphql-demo. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the GraphQL documentary - its on YouTube and gives a nice background on how GQL came to be. For technical resources, I'd say stick to the docs. The Apollo docs are great, but I'd stick to the GraphQL docs for the basics. I'm going to post a longer list of resources soon, so I'll tag you in it when I do :)

That's amazing! I wonder if you came across our community program, the Postman Supernovas. It seems you're quite an advocate for APIs, so you might be interested to become part of a wonderful network of community-minded people. And we're ever growing the program thanks to amazing people like you.
