Neo4j, Heroku and JavaScript - from Zero to Hero (and some Node)

With the 1.8 milestones of Neo4j (the Graph Database), the query language
Cypher has gained full data manipulation abilities. Let's get together
for a lightweight workshop that introduces the various features of
Cypher with a series of progressive examples.

We will demo a simple setup of Neo4j on Heroku, accessing and proxying
it with Node.js or ruby to provide a secure endpoint, and then process
Google Apps Script request against the Cypher REST endpoing from
witing Google Calc in order to get some shiny diagrams out of Neo4j
along the lines of

If you want to hack along, please get beforehand:

• a working Google Drive account

• a Heroku account with access to the Beta addons (card registration required)

• your computer."

• Plan to have Node.js installed as well
