Presenter: Joshua Mitchell

Abstract:

I'm going to talk about setting up a GraphQL API in the Django Framework. I will briefly cover GraphQL basics and then dive in to implementing GraphQL in Python using Graphene. We'll explore schema setup, querying, mutations and what those things mean in Graphene. Finally, I'll include brief mentions to what this means for a frontend developer consuming the API.
