# Getting started with GraphQL on ASP.NET Core and Hot Chocolate - Workshop
If you want to browse the GraphQL server head over [here](http://workshop.chillicream.com/).
## Prerequisites
For this workshop we need a couple of prerequisites. First, we need the [.NET SDK 8.0](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0).
Then we need an IDE/editor in order to do some proper C# coding, you can use [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/) or if you already have it on your system, Visual Studio or JetBrains Rider.
Last but not least we will use our GraphQL IDE [Nitro](https://get-nitro.chillicream.com).
> Note: When installing Visual Studio you only need to install the `ASP.NET and web development` workload.
## What you'll be building
In this workshop, you'll learn by building a full-featured GraphQL Server with ASP.NET Core and Hot Chocolate from scratch. We'll start from File/New and build up a full-featured GraphQL server with custom middleware, filters, subscriptions, and Relay support.
**Database Schema**:

**GraphQL Schema**:
The GraphQL schema can be found [here](code/session-7/GraphQL.Tests/__snapshots__/SchemaTests.SchemaChanged.graphql).
