Anyone needing to develop solutions around Neo4j or wishing to discover the potential of a graph database.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of database principles and Java, Python or JavaScript programming languages.
Course schedule
1 Introduction
- The historical dominance of relational databases.
- The emergence of NoSQL databases and the different types of NoSQL databases.
- A presentation of Neo4j, its positioning and advantages.
Demonstration
Examples of Neo4j use.
2 Installation
- Supported platforms and system requirements.
- Linux and Windows installations.
- Service creation, launch and configuration.
Hands-on work
Install Neo4j on your development workstation (with Linux or Windows).
3 Data structure in Neo4j
- What is a graph?
- Nodes: properties and labels.
- Relationships: properties, types and meanings.
- Properties: types and arrays.
- Data paths and routes.
- Schemas, indexes and constraints.
Hands-on work
Handling different graphs.
4 The Cypher language
- Syntax: expressions, variables, parameters, operators, patterns, arrays, etc.
- Clauses: readings, writings, unions, projections, etc.
- Functions: mathematics, aggregations, scalars, related to arrays and strings, etc.
- Indexes: creating, using, deleting and adding constraints.
- Optimization of queries and execution plans.
- Importing data.
Hands-on work
Import sample database and run queries via web interface.
5 Access Neo4j from your own programs
- An overview of how to embed Neo4j in a Java program.
- Neo4j drivers (.Net, Java, JavaScript, Python).
- Focus on a driver of your choice (Java, JavaScript, Spring or Python).
- Server connections and authentication, read/write requests and transactions.
Hands-on work
Execute requests via the Java, JavaScript or Python driver.
6 REST API and GraphQL
- REST API versus GraphQL.
- Root and authentication. JSON flows. Transactional service.
- Direct node manipulation and direct relationship manipulation.
- Historical service (transactional and non-transactional).
- Identification of properties, labels and relationship types used in the database.
- Managing indexing and constraints.
Hands-on work
Execute requests via the REST API.
PARTICIPANTS
Anyone needing to develop solutions around Neo4j or wishing to discover the potential of a graph database.
PREREQUISITES
