Authors: Greg Jordan
Description:
Practical Neo4j provides an in-depth look into why developers at places like Facebook and Twitter have increasingly turned to graph databases to manage their highly connected, big data. The book guides you through the background and basics of graphs and gets you quickly up and running with Neo4j. It will walk you through the data modeling stages for projects such as social networks, recommendation engines and geo-based applications. The book also dives into the configuration steps as well as the language options used to create your Neo4j-backed applications.
Neo4j runs some of the largest connected datasets in the world, and developing with it offers you a fast, flexible and proven database option. Using Practical Neo4j, you will learn how to harness that power and create elegant solutions that address complex data problems.

Who this book is for
Practical Neo4j is for technology professionals who are known as "full-stack" developers and often tasked with not only modeling but also creating and maintaining the applications for their respective startups or established organizations. It s a concise guide for the busy developer who has a notion of the importance of graph databases but needs practical examples that apply to his or her chosen language and applications needs. Practical Neo4j is for the technical and data architects who are looking for an alternative to take their "graphy" data models from relational databases to a faster, more efficient option like Neo4j. It is a great resource for data analysts or data scientists, such as researchers and academics in the field of bioinformatics, who seek a better understanding of the connections between existing, large and diverse datasets.
