Neo4j Traning

Speakers: Ian Robinson

Room: TBA

TRAINING ABSTRACT:

A Programmatic Introduction to the Neo4j Graph Database

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.

Riak training

Speaker: Chris Molozian

Room:TBA

TRAINING ABSTRACT:

Riak is the scalable, highly available, ops-friendly key value database that's in use at GitHub, Rovio and BestBuy.

In this session you'll learn how to work with Riak as a developer, with topics including:

Modelling your data in the schema-free, key-value world.
Taking the development environment for a spin on your laptop.
Add data to your Riak cluster using the REST interface.
Build a simple Ruby application that store and retrieves data with Riak.

All you need to attend is your laptop, the Ruby runtimes and a sense of fun!
