Learning GraphQL from a Different Video

Learning GraphQL from a Different Video

I am so lucky to have such amazing mentors. I mean this seriously. And one of them intervened and told me I was doing the wrong GraphQL video. Of course he did not put it quite so dramatically as that. He just said that it was overkill. So he recommended me another one. Then another amazing colleague who I consider to be an unofficial mentor to some degree recommended a course. But then he said the course was a bit more advanced. So he agreed that the video my mentor has recommended was better to learn the basics. Okay thanks. And he asked me to let him know if I had any doubts. 

I asked what doubts. Ooops. On a side note, as I have moved quite a big pairing session to Friday, I have to make sure I work hard enough 

On Thursday (today is all booked up). Because Friday is my last day before holidays. So I would be cramming then.

But as I have a pairing session then. I will be cramming a bit on Thursday. But I will be tired after my medical appointment this afternoon.

Learning GraphQL Video

Here it is in all its glory btw: 

Thursday Morning

Okay here I am I have 90 minutes of focus time and I want to cram. 

Thanks.

Okay so there is an initial example. 

Initial Example

In the initial example
- We have a client
- It hits an endpoint/queries a server with an api
- The server sends back some info
- The client uses that info how it wants.

The problem with this is that different parts of our client app will need different parts of the data returned by the server. A graphql server saves us from having to build hundreds and hundreds of routes to query with. 
Anyway thank you

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as ...

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…”

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…” Hey there. Still off work. Still tired. Lana del Rey released a new song. Thank God. My soul needed it so much.  I’m thinking a lot about everything. Thinking about where I went wrong. I just want to release. I want to release all the crap that is in my room. I’ve been trying to fully declutter since I was 21. I give away so much. I donate so much. But then I never quite finish. I never get to the click. And then I buy more. I don’t know what technique to use. There are so many techniques. The Marie Kondo method. I like to do kinaesthetic tests too. I like to pretend I’m packing up during the pandemic again and I have to make really quick decisions about what to keep and what to leave behind. That was no fun. But it was efficient. I just can’t release it. There’s so much stuff I can’t let go of. I don’t know how to. I don’t know how to. I suppose that’s a good metaphor for life. We accumulate stuff and we hold on to it....

In the Water, I find Fire

In the Water, I find Fire Who am I without renewable energy? I had to ask myself this question last year when my company laid off half its employees.  I didn’t know who I was anymore. Not without renewable energy. But I did everything I could to stay in it. The time in between jobs allowed me to experiment. Travel around the UK a bit. Reconnect with old hobbies. Rediscover my femininity a bit - be someone who wasn’t always working. But I fought to stay in renewable energy. A part of myself has been telling myself that I am in renewable energy still and that’s great because I am. But I am mostly in water. And that was hard for me to accept that. Because I love renewable energy so so much. And I couldn’t imagine my life without it. But now I can. Not because I don’t love it But because I need to give myself to something more too and that is water Because in the water I find my passion In the water, I find my fire In the water, I find my self again In the water, I find my Self So let’...
