Hey everyone! 
Michelle here from the Apollo Education team. I’m a Developer Educator and I build courses for Odyssey, our official learning platform.
I wanted to share two new courses we just shipped. We’d love to hear what you think!
These courses are focused on teaching you how to use Apollo Connectors: a powerful way to bring existing REST APIs into your graph, all through configuration in the schema!
GraphQL meets REST, with Apollo Connectors
In this introductory course, you’ll learn the basics of working with Apollo Connectors. With videos, a follow-along project, interactive code challenges and quizzes, you’ll gain practical experience in:
Using the new connector directives: @source and @connect
Mapping REST API data into your GraphQL schema
Working with entities
Expressions in connectors: Mapping and Transforms
In this course, you’ll explore the selection mapping syntax for the @connect directive. With help from the connectors mapping playground, you’ll learn how to:
Write expressions to map JSON response properties to a schema
Use the Connectors Mapping Playground to explore JSON responses and preview expression results
Transform data with methods like first, entries, and match
Help us help you!
I’d love for you to give it a try and share your thoughts! What worked well? What could be clearer? Anything you’d like to see more of in future courses? Drop them here!
If you’re running into specific issues from either course, don’t hesitate to create a post in the forum and we’ll be happy to help troubleshoot from there.
Thanks, and happy learning!
