Neo4J User Group:Using Neo4j and Hadoop to solve Big Connected Data Problems
Using Neo4j and Hadoop to solve Big Connected Data Problems
For this meetup session, we have invited a guest speaker from the Netherlands to come and present/discuss his experience in building a complex network analysis system for a global financial institution - a practical case study.

Friso will be explaining the ideas behind the project, the technical architecture of the solution based on a mixed Hadoop+Neo4j environment, and the detailed setup of the application. He will also be sharing his experience and lessons learnt from the project, so that we can all understand and learn from it.

Ian Robinson & Jim Webber' Neo4j Tutorial

Join Ian Robinson & Jim Webber for this hands-on, 2-day Neo4J Tutorial at Skills Matter.

Ian Robinson is Director of Customer Services at Neo Technology, the company behind Neo4J. Jim Webber in turn is Neo Technology’s Chief Scientist and runs the Neo4J User Group in London. Both are international speakers and keen to share their insider Neo4J expertise with you.

The Neo4J Tutorials are a mixture of theory and hands-on practical sessions that enable you to discover the true capacity of graph data and Neo4J databases. 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.

Graph databases like Neo4j are 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.
