The Complete Strapi™ Course with Plugins and Deployment - Extensions: Nexus Versus GraphQL SDL

The video tutorial covers the use of resolvers in GraphQL, focusing on creating extensions with Nexus objects and configuring them. It explains the customization of types using both Nexus syntax and standard SDL, highlighting the differences. The tutorial also discusses extending the schema with type definitions to create new mutations, such as liking posts.

The next lesson will focus on using type definitions to create custom GraphQL functionality.
