Topic: GraphSQL video presentation

Is there a GraphQL presentation (FHIR specific) which details how GraphQL works? I'm unable to find one for some of our trainees who wish to look at some of the details - to see if it fits their requirements. Any known video recordings/webinars on the subject?

I did a presentation at DevDays about this - maybe last year ?
Robert Winterbottom (May 10 2019 at 13:26):
We also did a presentation at Amsterdam dev days on FHIR and GraphQL in the tutorial track that talked about getting started with GraphQL in Javascript. It didn't go too deep into all the benefits, but once you start playing with GraphQL the benefits will become obvious very quickly and there are many!! However, I cannot seem to find the slides online anywhere. I do have a local copy I could probably upload somewhere if people are interested.

@Robert Winterbottom i'd like to have those slides please

Here https://www.devdays.com/events/devdays-europe-2018/presentations/ with exclusive access for the attendees (Amsterdam 2018).
Robert Winterbottom (May 10 2019 at 13:42):
Oh awesome thank you. Is there any reason why they are not just publicly available?
Lloyd McKenzie (May 10 2019 at 14:50):
All DevDays presentations are public 6 months after the event. I think the intention is to balance not cutting into the attendee numbers for the conference while still benefiting the community at large.
Robert Winterbottom (May 10 2019 at 14:57):
Ahh ok, makes sense, thanks

I can find https://vimeo.com/267066209 by @Igor Sirkovich ..

I'm not sure how helpful my video would be. This was a high level presentation by Sanjaai Udukumbura from eHealth Ontario followed by a discussion at the Canadian FHIR Solution Architecture Group in April 2018.

I will be speaking about graphQL at the upcoming devdays. I have not done so in a formal tutorial in the past

There is some excellent content on this from the GraphQL foundation https://www.howtographql.com/ though it is not specific to FHIR and health. The big difference is GraphQL makes getting the data you need easier and in one trip versus calling many separate endpoints. This is good and will be essential for API directories to be successful.

Hey everyone, we have built our API using GraphQL and are using it in our production system. Happy taking any questions or talking about how we dealt with moving from REST to GraphQL as well as reasonings and growing pains
