Neo4j - How to work with a graph database

With the newest version of Neo4j out in the wild as a final release, we have a lot of new things to talk about: from changes to our core data model to new language concepts and keywords as well as all new interactive use-cases.

This training offers the first step in building a good knowledge of graph databases, and covers the core functionality of the open source Neo4j graph database. With a mixture of theory and hands-on practice sessions, you will quickly learn how easy it is to work with a powerful graph database using Cypher as the query language.

Things you will learn:

An understanding of graph databases
Install and operate Neo4j
Use the Neo4j development tools productively
Exploit the strengths of the Property Graph model and the Cypher query language
Build confidence in building a graph enabled application

Which topics will we cover?

Introduction to Neo4j
Overview of Cypher graph query language
Social, logistics, recommendation, scientific and other use-cases in real world domains
Opportunity to consult first hand with concrete questions on current projects, possible implementations and proof of concepts

Attendees won’t need any previous experience with Neo4j, NOSQL databases or specific development languages, but will need their own laptop with Neo4j 2.x installed.
