Presentation: "A rapid introduction to Neo4j"

Track: NoSQL / Time: Friday 11:30 - 12:20 / Location: Foyer

For highly connected data, graph databases can be thousands of times faster than relational databases, making Neo4j popular for managing complex data across many domains from finance to social, and telecoms to geospatial. This talk will provide a rapid, code-focussed introduction to Neo4j covering graph modelling, core APIs, query languages all supported by an interesting data set mined from the "Doctor Who" universe.
