Hey Bret,

Probably it makes sense to familiarize yourself with how Graphql works in general. Play around in one of the available sandboxes to get experience with queries.

I think if you boil down Graphql to a few important concepts, you will end up with:

  • Resolvers (parts of code responsible for fetching data from the DB and aggregating it)
  • Queries (analog of GET requests) / Mutations (analog of POST, PUT and DELETE).

Those are some entry points. God luck.
