JavaScript

React-Relay or GraphQL a possible course for Treehouse?

Hey Guil Hernandez and other Treehouse staff!

I'm wondering if there's a chance we'll ever see a RelayJS and/or GraphQL course? Other e-learning platform out there seems to focus on React and Flux - but give little no coverage on Relay.js.

I find this quite confusing as many experts in the field have dubbed the React+Relay combination the "future of web development" and the "Angularjs killer".

Anyway, is a course for these planned in the future?

Thanks!

Hi Christian Andersson

We're looking at both of those technologies, but don't have a specific time frame on courses or workshops on either of them. Glad you're interested in React! We're definitely going to add to our React content.

And GraphQL looks like a really interesting project -- a replacement for REST, perhaps? So many awesome things going on in technology these days!

Indeed! The problem at the moment seems to be with the little coverage about said technologies, largely due to poor/limited documentation. Redux on the other hand seems to offer more material on both official and non-official platforms. Both techs are really mature so I could only speculate as to why this is.

Hence the reason I was hoping Treehouse will eventually take the initiative to become one of the first e-learning platforms with Relay & GraphQL tutorials. As far as I know, there's only one tutorial out there that covers the basics, and that's it. There are no books to be found either.

Thanks again.

If you're looking to learn GraphQL a good resource is https://www.howtographql.com/. They've made some good instructional videos and documentation. Also it links through to some very user friendly tools/frameworks: Apollo and Graph.cool
