Ian Robinson & Jim Webber' Neo4j Tutorial // 10th & 11th September

Join Ian Robinson & Jim Webber for this hands-on, 2-day Neo4J Tutorial at Skills Matter London September 10th - 11th.

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.
