In this course, we'll be creating a [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/) server from scratch with the help of the [Express](https://expressjs.com/) framework. We'll then introduce the benefits of strongly-typed code and integrate [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org) into our Node server application.

We will compare GitHub's old RESTful API against its new GraphQL API. We will explore the problems GraphQL aims to solve. And finally, we will create our own GraphQL API using [Apollo](https://www.apollographql.com/)!

In this course, we'll show you how to create your first GraphQL server with Node.js and TypeScript

# Module 3 Introduction

We have an understanding of how GraphQL is a typed query language that allows client-side applications to request the data they want. With that said, how would one go about creating a GraphQL API?

In this module, we'll install Apollo Server and the GraphQL JavaScript library, create a GraphQL Schema, build GraphQL resolver functions to interact with our mock data, and recreate our schema with the much simpler GraphQL Schema Language.
