GraphQL is a technology that’s rapidly rising in popularity. Here at Big Nerd Ranch, we always like to use the best available tool to solve our customer’s problems. We recently had a client project which looked like a great fit for this new technology. We spent three months working with GraphQL as our main API design for an iOS app. This is what we learned.

Setting up a test suite for the first time, or adding new tools to an existing test suite, can be a significant undertaking.

There is no doubt that the web is one of the most influential platform of our time. The power and impact of the web in recent years can largely be attributed to the explosion of JavaScript. It’s expansion out of the web browser and onto the server and other devices also continues to gain momentum. Along this journey, JavaScript has grown from a trivial “web-companion” scripting language to a standardized, robust programming language that is arguably the most-used of any in 2018. Due to its versatility and adaptability, as JavaScript creator Brendan Eich states, “always bet on JavaScript”.

JavaScript has a fast moving ecosystem, by standardizing project structure you can increase the speed of development and developer onboarding.
