## What it is
How to GraphQL is a free, open-source fullstack tutorial website for learning GraphQL, built by Prisma and the community. It offers hands-on step-by-step tutorials across multiple frontend and backend stacks (React/Apollo, TypeScript, Elixir, Ruby, Python, Go, Scala) where learners build a Hackernews clone from scratch to production.

## Use cases
- learn graphql from scratch
- graphql tutorial for beginners
- build a graphql server with apollo and prisma
- learn graphql with react and apollo
- graphql tutorial in python or go
- understand graphql queries mutations and subscriptions
- fullstack graphql course

## When to choose
- you want a free, hands-on, step-by-step introduction to GraphQL
- you want to learn GraphQL in your preferred language or framework
- you prefer learning by building a complete project from zero to production

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date content - several tracks (Relay, Vue, Ember, Java) are explicitly out of date
- you need maintained documentation or support - the repo is mostly unmaintained and seeking maintainers
- you already know GraphQL and need advanced reference material rather than a tutorial

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphql, documentation, api-framework
- domain: tutorials, web-development, apis, education
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: graphql-tutorial, fullstack, apollo, prisma, hackernews-clone, open-source-content, nodejs, web-server
