#### Recorded March 18, 2020 

GSQL is a user-friendly, highly expressive and Turing-complete graph query language. Although learning GSQL is relatively easy, it can be challenging for some users to know where to start when writing a query. If that feels familiar, this webinar is for you.

By watching this webinar you will:

- Become more confident in GSQL query writing
- Know more about GSQL mechanism and accumulators
- Be able to write medium level difficulty GSQL queries.

During the presentation we cover the the following:

1. Review GSQL basics
2. Explain how to design a graph traversal plan
3. Describe how to choose the best accumulator
4. Explore how accumulators are populated
5. Show how to produce results.
