Get 3 packed days of graph training to fit your team! Graph bootcamp is a great way to broaden your individual skills or kick start graph knowledge within your team.
As part of the bootcamp, students will build out a REST API using Expero’s bootstrapping tools and the graph database knowledge they learn throughout the course.
