GraphQL and Android Version 0.1 Released

Subscribers now have
access to the inaugural release of GraphQL and Android,
known as Version 0.1, in PDF, EPUB, and MOBI/Kindle formats. Just log into
your Warescription page and download
away, or set up an account and subscribe!

This marks the first new book in the Warescription in several years. Going
forward, I will break topics out into their own book when they are ���bigger
than a breadbox���. This is particularly true for cases where the material in
the book might be interesting to an audience beyond those interested in
The Busy Coder���s Guide to Android Development.

GraphQL is gaining a fair bit of attention in Web development circles, which
means that Android developers will need to work with GraphQL servers at some
point. Most of what is written about GraphQL is written from the standpoint
of a Web developer, and so I wanted to cover GraphQL with a native-Android
focus.

This first beta version of the book covers what GraphQL is, how to work
with it from general HTTP client APIs (OkHttp) and from GraphQL-specific
APIs (Apollo-Android),
and ���the ins and outs��� of GraphQL syntax.

This book will evolve fairly rapidly over the next few months, to cover
topics like security (authentication, authorization, encryption), caching,
testing, and so forth. Stay tuned to this blog,
the @CommonsWare Twitter feed, etc. for
announcements about updates.

Since this is the first new book from me in a while, there may be Warescription
site hiccups along the way. If you run into problems obtaining the book,
reach out and I���ll try to fix matters.

And, rest assured,
The Busy Coder���s Guide to Android Development is still being updated
for new material ��� these additional focused books will not detract from
that.

Again, if you have any questions or concerns,
drop me a line.
