GraphQL Training
GraphQL training for teams in London, Berlin and Europe.
From one of the maintainers of GraphiQL.
The GraphQL Revolution
GraphQL is a breakthrough in API design adopted by many of the world’s top companies (and many small ones too). The creator of the open standard, Facebook, has used it to serve over 2 billion users and cite it as a key reason for their dominance in mobile.
By adopting GraphQL in your business you can innovate faster and deliver better web experiences leading to increase conversions, fewer lost sales due to bugs and higher search engine ratings.
Meet the trainers
Benjie has been writing applications, servers and APIs professionally for over a decade. As part of maintaining PostGraphile, a popular OSS project that generates an extremely high-performance and highly configurable GraphQL API from your existing PostgreSQL database schema, Benjie built the Graphile suite of tools for building scalable GraphQL schemas through plugins. He also helps to maintain the official GraphiQL GraphQL IDE and is a contributor to the GraphQL Specification Working Group. He sees GraphQL as one of the biggest advancements in web API technology during his career.
Jem has a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), which equipped her with the tools and techniques to support people in their learning journeys. After a career change to programming where she built web and iOS apps she joined the GraphQL-Training team and brings a focus on learning methodologies and curricula planning. She also operates the human side of the Graphile OSS projects, building the community around the software and ensuring that supporters’ concerns are rapidly addressed.

What They Are Saying
Bickett
We were hosting a critical 30-person customer training session for a Fortune 50 company, and needed to establish a baseline understanding of GraphQL. Benjie was flexible, professional, and accommodating in working with us to build a GraphQL module that fit our specific agenda and trainee backgrounds. In the feedback, our customers specifically called out Benjie’s clarity and engaging teaching style out as a highlight of the 3-day training. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Vararu
Benjie taught me more about software development than anybody I’ve worked with before or since.
Sweeney
Benjie can give a massively in-depth talk without making your brain melt. His speaking style makes the subject very approachable and gets you excited for what you are learning.
The workshop was presented with well thought out code samples - and even though I was on a (less than ideally set up) Windows machine, Benjie knew just how to sort out any problems that arose.
On-site, Off-site or Remote
Every organization’s need is different which is why we love to work with teams on site, customizing the syllabus to meet your needs. With a decade of experience in building products and consulting with small startups through to household name media companies, we understand how to help your developers achieve the very best…
Need a remote or external location? We can do that too. We conduct bespoke online webinars and can host up to 20 developers at central locations in all major European cities.
Contact us for more details.
Teaching Style
We find that most people learn best by doing, so our 1-day and 2-day courses have multiple cycles of listening to a short presentation and then performing a programming exercise using the techniques discussed. This gives the student opportunity to solidify their understanding, experiment and even to make mistakes and learn how to fix them.
We operate a buddy system where each student is paired with another so they can help each other to solve any problems, and our trainers will be on-hand to help clarify any uncertainties and guide how to fix issues.
GraphQL – The Future of Web APIS
GraphQL... gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.
