What is Jamstack?
Jamstack is not about specific technologies. It is the combination of underlying tooling that makes JAMstack so exciting. The web is rapidly changing away from monolithic to decoupled apps, and web developers are storming ahead with more power than ever.
Jamstack represents a new way of developing software based on build-time and client-side rendering, that doesn’t depend on web servers for outputting websites and apps.
What is GraphQL?
GraphQL is a query language for your API. GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIs, and a runtime for fulfilling queries with existing data. GraphQL was developed internally by Facebook in 2012 before being publicly released in 2015. Now it is one of the most popular and beloved tools in Jamstack toolset and in this workshop will teach you how to use it!
