The course will start at the very beginning with what is graph databases, general overview of different databases, the advantages of using graph databases over traditional relational database with tables and rows, what is Neo4J, how to set up the Neo4J environment, understand the Cypher Query Language, take a look at the official and the contributed language drivers that are available and finally put the theory to good use by building a practical application.

The tutorial has been optimally designed and divided into five major sections:

Section 1 – Intro to Graph Databases – what they are, their advantages, the graph data model and so on.

Section 2 – Getting Started with Neo4J – what it is, install Neo4J on Windows and Linux and start to work with Neo4J browser.

Section 3 – Cypher & Neo4J browser – in depth into the browser and the cypher query language, create nodes and relationships and visual representations through the browser

Section 4 – More on Cypher and Neo4J – other cyper queries and clauses such as lisp, with statement, conditions, other things to help query the database

Section 5 – SocialClient Application – build a NodeJS or javascript application that allows us to create nodes and relationships, add properties, etc.

With Neo4J, the possibilities of database handling are endless. Simplify your life and your apps with this brilliant database. Let’s get started!
