+# SEM-1.1-GraphQL
+
+Senior Seminar with GraphQL
+
+This is proposal for a possible class to run term 3 2019.

+Feel free to comment with any suggestions, words of encouragement, and expressions of interest.
+
+# GraphQL Class Proposal
+
+This is a proposal for a senior seminar. To run in term 3 2018. 
+
+## Overview 
+
+GraphQL is an open source data query and manipulation language for APIs, and runtime for fulling data requests. 
+
+Graph QL is a language and a specification and can be used with a variety of server technologies. 
+
+As a clientside language GraphQL allows a client to describe a request, including providing query parameters, and what it expects in return. 
+
+As a server side specification GraphQL describes how a server should fullfill a query. The GraphQl spec can be implemented in any serverside technology for example SQL or Node. 
+
+### Advantages 
+
+Reduces a routes to a single endpoint. With REST you will need an endpoint for each of many different types of requests. With GraphQL you would use a **single endpoint for all requests**.
+
+Removes over and under fetching of data. With REST data returned from a request is usually a fixed dataset and includes a full range of data. Using GraphQL you can **specify exactly what you want returned**. 
+
+With REST there is a need to define an end point for each type of request at the server. With GraphQL all requests are written at the client. This makes product iteration faster. 
+
+- Develop applications faster since you can create new routes by just writing code on frontend. 
+- Using a single endpoint simplifies your work. 
+- Make more effecient applications by avoiding over fetching and under fetching data. 
+
+## Core Concepts 
+
+The GraphQL language uses a JS like syntax. Below are some examples of the code you would write in the GraphQL language. 
+
+### SDL (Schema Definition Language)
+
+Strong Schemas make for more robust and reliable systems. 
+
+```
+type Post {
+  title: String!
+  author: Person!
+}
+```
+
+### Query 
+
+Queries written on the frontend make for faster more effecient development. 
+
+```
+{
+  allPosts {
+    title
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Nested data can be requested in a query. 
+
+```
+{
+  allPosts {
+    title
+		comments {
+			subject
+		}
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Queries can have parameters
+
+```
+{
+  allPosts(first: 2) {
+    title
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Mutations are for CRUD
+
+```
+mutation {
+  createPost(title: "Learn GraphQL", content: "...") {
+    title
+    content
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Subscriptions
+
+GraphQL supports real time updates with Subscriptions. 
+
+### Backend technologies
+
+GraphQL integrates with all of the technologies you are familiar with: React, Node, Elixir, Ruby, Python, and more. 
+
+On the clientside GraphQL queries are written as strings and so work with any frontend technology.
