Progressive Java Tutorials: Ian Robinson & Jim Webber on A Programmatic Introduction to Neo4j
A Programmatic Introduction to Neo4j
Neo4j is an esoteric and powerful member of the NOSQL family. For highly connected data, graph databases can be thousands of times faster than relational databases, making Neo4j popular for managing complex data across many domains from finance to social, and telecoms to geospatial.

This intensive half-day progressive Neo4J tutorial is a hands-on practical session to demonstrate the capabilities of graph data and Neo4j. During the session we will cover:
  • Graph fundamentals and Neo4j Architecture
  • The Neo4j Core API
  • Indexing
  • Cypher query language
Each part of the tutorial consists of a small amount of theory combined with a set of practical exercises designed to reinforce how to achieve sophisticated goals with Neo4j.

Attendees will need to bring a laptop with their favourite Java IDE installed to get the most out of this session.

The practical aspects of this Neo4J course consist of Koan-style lessons where a specific part of the Neo4j stack is presented as a set of failing unit tests which participants will work to fix. You will participate in gradually more complex and challenging exercises until you’re capable of implementing sophisticated graph operations with Neo4J.
