Half Day Workshop: An Introduction to the Neo4j Graph Database
Details
This is a half day (afternoon) workshop prior to the main Norfolk Developers event (https://www.meetup.com/Norfolk-Developers-NorDev/events/141440522/) in the evening. You must sign up separately for the evening event if you wish to attend.
Neo4j is a JVM-based, open source graph database. With the power to store and query billions of highly connected, variably structured entities, it is ideally suited to solving complex network- and graph-oriented data problems. Today, Neo4j is employed in business-critical applications in domains as diverse as social networking, recommendations, datacenter management, logistics, entitlements and authorization, route finding, telecommunications network monitoring, fraud analysis, and many others.
This tutorial will show you how to develop a Neo4j-based graph database application. With a mixture of architecture and hands-on coding exercises, you'll quickly learn how to design a graph data model, write queries, and incorporate Neo4j into a server or desktop application. Topics include:
- Introduction to Neo4j
- The property graph data model
- Database features
- Example use cases
- Creating and querying graph data
- Cypher query language
- Java APIs
- Building a graph database application
- Application architectures
- Data modeling
- Testing
You don't need any previous experience of Neo4j to participate. You will, however, need some experience of Java and a laptop with Java 1.7, a Java IDE of your choice and the Chrome web browser.
