In Learning Clientside GraphQL with Apollo, you'll learn the benefits of using GraphQL with Apollo and how this robust stack can solve problems that can arise when working with data from front-end APIs. You'll gain hands-on experience as you build a self-contained voting application, complete with a database and front-end and backend applications. Your project will allow users to vote a topic up or down, propose new topics, and leave comments on topics.

GraphQL, a data query and manipulation language, is the open source community's answer to the growing complexity of the data landscape of front-end web applications. GraphQL's ease of querying complex data-and returning nothing more nor less than necessary-makes it a simpler, more efficient, and flexible alternative to other web service architectures.
Built on the GraphQL specification, Apollo is a powerful set of tools and libraries which implements extensive research and feedback from the user community. Rich with features and techniques that simplify the data-layers within organizations, it makes rollouts of new deployments faster and easier.
