Dr. Jim Webber is Chief Scientist with Neo Technology, the company behind the popular open source graph database Neo4j, where he works on R&D for highly scalable graph databases and writes open source software. His proven passion for microservices ecosystems and REST translate into highly engaging workshops that foster collaboration and discussion.
Jim has written two books on integration and distributed systems: “Developing Enterprise Web Services” on XML Web Services and “REST in Practice” on using the Web for building large-scale systems. His latest book is “Graph Databases” which focuses on the Neo4j database. His blog is located at http://jimwebber.org and he tweets often @jimwebber.

A Humane Presentation about Graph Database Internals
Featuring Jim Webber
Databases are everywhere, but did you ever wonder what goes on inside the box? In this talk we’ll dive into the internals of Neo4j - a popular graph database - and see how its designers deal with distributed systems challenges now and in the future. Borrowing heavily from the academic literature,...

Mixing Causal Consistency and Asynchronous Replication for Large Neo4j Clusters
Featuring Jim Webber
In this talk we’ll explore the new Causal clustering architecture for Neo4j. We’ll see how Neo4j uses the Raft protocol for a robust underlay for intensive write operations, and how the asynchronous new scale-out mechanism provides enormous capacity for very demanding graph workloads....

Practical Introduction to Neo4j
Featuring Jim Webber
This workshop is aimed at the people new to Neo4j but curious about what graphs can do for them and their business. In this highly practical session we'll explore what a graph database is and how data modelling works for graphs. We will also touch on a little graph theory and DBMS architecture...

Surfing the Infinite Monkey Theorem for Fun and Profit
Featuring Jim Webber
Running an open source B2B business is a tough gig. Not only can anyone see where the bodies are buried but there’s a constant tension between various stakeholders: OSS enthusiasts, customers, and employees with respect to the software. At Neo4j we see architecture as one possible...

A Little Graph Theory for the Busy Data Scientist
Featuring Jim Webber
In this talk you’ll explore powerful analytic techniques for graph data. Firstly you’ll discover some of the innate properties of (social) graphs from fields like anthropology and sociology. By understanding the forces and tensions within the graph structure and applying some graph theory, you’ll...

Real-Time Fraud Detection with Graphs
Featuring Jim Webber
Finance is awash with data, but much of it is discrete items locked up in silos waiting to be joined up to provide insights. Graph data is different: it's joined by default and oozes domain-specific insight.

Impossible is Nothing
Featuring Jim Webber
There was a time when crossing oceans was a Herculean effort and humans died from commonplace bacterial infections. But time and technology have moved on making the once seemingly impossible a reality and then a commodity, fuelling our ambition for the next level of impossible feats. In data...
