Workshop: Tweet"Neo4j Tutorial: A Programmatic Introduction to the Neo4j Graph Database"

Time: Thursday 14:15 - 17:40 / Location: To be announced

Neo4j is a JVM-based graph database. For highly connected, semi-structured data, graph databases are thousands of times faster than relational databases, making them ideal for managing complex data across many domains, from finance to social, telecoms to geospatial.

This tutorial covers the core functionality of the Neo4j graph database. With a mixture of architecture and hands-on coding sessions, you'll quickly learn how to develop a Neo4j-backed application. Each session comprises a set of practical exercises designed to introduce and reinforce an aspect of the Neo4j stack.

You don't need any previous experience of Neo4j to participate. You will, however, need some experience of Java, and a laptop with a Java IDE of your choice.
