This week, Swiftmind organized the first Neo4j Tutorial in Zurich. Stefan Armbruster from Neotechnology came over from Munich and was running the training for 10 Swiss graphistas.

The evening before the training, he joined the Neo4j-Zurich Meetup and presented a newsflash and some insights for the upcoming release of Neo4j 2.0.

Like in other trainings, a lot of insights about the topic itself and project experience you gain during the discussions in the breaks and at lunchtime. To challenge Stefan we introduced “t-shirt questions”, where one was able to get a t-shirt when asking a very difficult question.

We all had so much fun using Cypher and modeling several graphs. Swiftmind looks forward to organize another Neo4j Tutorial soon again. If you are interested, drop me a line at patrick.baumgartner@swiftmind.com

Swiftmind brings the Neo4j Tutorial in June to Zurich. Make sure you save the date and register for this awesome introduction to graph data stores.

Description
This tutorial covers the core functionality of the Neo4j graph database. With a mixture of theory and hands-on practice sessions, attendees will quickly learn how easy it is to develop a Neo4j-backed application. The morning will consist of interactive learning and attendees will have the opportunity in the afternoon to model and query their own data.

Topics covered include:

• Introduction to Neo4j
• Overview of Cypher query language
• Social use cases including recommendations
• Permissions modeling
• Other case studies in real world domains
• Opportunity to consult with Neo4j engineers on current projects, possible implementations and proof of concepts

Attendees won’t need any previous experience with Neo4j, NOSQL databases or specific development languages, but will need their own laptop.
