Learning GraphQL, what do you learn first?

What do you focus on first learning GraphQL?
I have a MERN + Apollo/ GraphQL + Strapi CMS, project.
I want to eventually have a checkout system, ALSO, possibly a small social side so people can share “fish tank” setups and also what products they use or need.

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.
