• Understand how to migrate data from different types of data stores such as SQL and NoSQL with ease
• Utilize and learn data modeling best practices
• Use and mine social data, whether it be from Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn
• Deal with geospatial data and build services such as bounding box queries and nearest point of interest
• Visualize Neo4j graphs by customizing available tools or writing your own tool
• Scale Neo4j with up to billions of nodes and edges

In Detail

Neo4j is an open source graph database written in Java. Graph databases provide an excellent way to get richer insight into data and lower the bar for entry into the data science world. Starting with a practical and vital introduction to Neo4j and various aspects of Neo4j installation, you will learn how to connect and access Neo4j servers from programming languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, and Scala. You will also learn about Neo4j administration and maintenance before expanding and advancing your knowledge by dealing with large Neo4j installations and optimizing them for both storage and querying.

This is a practical guide full of examples and Neo4j recipes. The recipes are well explained with code samples that are updated for the latest version of Neo4j.
