## Curated Blog & Article Links

Industry Enterprise GraphQL Conference
Enterprise GraphQL Conf: https://hasura.io/enterprisegraphql/
Enterprise GrahpQL Workshop: https://hasura.io/enterprisegraphql/#workshop

Description: A conference about the role of GraphQL in the enterprise, its purposes and use and more importantly, its advantages! This conference is curated for developers, engineering managers & architects to learn from peers and get all your GraphQL adoption questions answered. I'll be giving a workshop on Wednesday covering practices and patterns around building out a data access layer using Hasura and GraphQL.

As always, I focus my content on insuring that you get work wrapped up efficiently everyday. Because I always like having the choice of family time, a beer, geeking out - or ALL THREE - in my post-work hours. I'm always focused on bringing content and tools to help you achieve that same relaxed lifestyle of efficiency!

Hasura CLI Installation & Notes

Composite Thrashing Code Blog: https://compositecode.blog/2020/10/13/hasure-cli-installation-notes/

Description: I added some details and notes around the installation process for the Hasura CLI. The CLI works in conjunction with the Hasura API Server to provide an automated means to build out migrations, work with metadata, and more. It's important to also know the ins and outs of what you get when installing the CLI.
