Introduction to Neo4j and Graph Databases

[@aryashahdi2790]

Fantastic presenter. Amazed how he addressed the questions so precisely.

[@ProjectDataScience]

Great presentation, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I've been diving into Neo4j recently, and I loved how this talk not only covered the introductory topics really well but also went into common pitfalls, anti-patterns, and where to look for advanced material (like the graph algorithms). It's clear this guy knows his stuff!

[@anthonykrinsky710]

Extremely clear and well reasoned presentation, a master class.

[@nerdophile6945]

Great Initiative by Microsoft. It was a good interactive session, one guy asked a question which I totally had in my mind. Concise and straight to the point. Really looking forward to Neo4j.

[@TonyHenrique]

This database is awesome and this Cypher Query Language is very intuitive and easy to use.

[@sureshgatti146]

Very nice presentation. It would have been better if the camera focused more on the slides. Several times, wanted to look at the board to follow what he was saying.

[@jamesr.mireles7964]

Exactly!. I'm 27 minutes into the presentation and have been annoyed by this from the start. Especially when he is showing code snippets.

[@jamesr.mireles7964]

totole found the slides here: www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/video/introduction-to-neo4j-and-graph-databases/

[@kwoowoo828]

This is a video. You can pause and go back to look at the board. This is what I did.

[@kazaakas]

@@jamesr.mireles7964 Thanks for the link. Much nicer to watch it this way.

[@thomasklugh4345]

To Suresh... Pause and go back?

[@GaryWee111]

Thanks for providing such an amazing presentation! It is clear and easy to follow!

[@rpilli]

One of the best presentation.

[@3LITA]

Computers do what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do :) Thank you for the Brilliant video and product!!!

Starts at 02:23

[@ericpmoss]

Please focus the camera on the screen -- it takes time to digest what's written, and we need to hear him speak at the same time.

[@SaifUlIslam-di5xv]

Thank you for the upload, Microsoft. Very cool. Much thank. Great job.

[@stevecoffman2559]

Show the slides >80% of the time. The slides are more important than the visual of the speaker.

[@hungiscoding]

I was the person that worked really hard at 50:08 :D Oh dear little did I know :D

[@filippograzioli3641]

Great talk! Gives a very good overview of Neo4j

[@calebpro77]

He is awesome to explain Neo4J and its internal !! Great !

[@spiritunchecked2281]

Awesome presentation, very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@prosongo2007]

I love the presentation, and I'm interested in using Neo4j. What turns me off a bit (as a researcher) is the Cypher language. It seems to be overcomplicated SQL (but it might be just my "noobish" impression). I want to write simple queries like in 23m:39s : "Who loves Ann?" ;) and db engine figures out > "Ann" probably {Person}, "loves" probably {label} etc... Does such a parser exist?

[@subratamondal212]

Content is excellent...but dont no why the camera is mostly focused in the tutor instead of the slides...it was a bit difficult to go through for this reason.

[@TheMahimas]

Great Video. I have a question - Say I have 15 different legacy RDMS database instances where the data related to each other reside and these have millions of records.If I implement Neo4J here, my intention is to traverse the graph efficiently and being able to pull the relationships. I don't want to create a monolith and huge Neo4J database that consists of data from 15 of the legacy databases . I rather want to leverage existing data stores but just want to create a graph that I can traverse for ascertaining the relationships.Please let me know if you can answer this.

[@genexu520]

This presentation is amazing

[@chenjus]

Great talk. Does anyone know the best way to insert a Networkx graph into Neo4j?

[@RamaraoKanneganti]

When he is refering to content of the slide and not being able to see the slide is frustrating. Other than that, the presentation is great.

[@kiwibobe]

This is an excellent presentation, both in content and quality. Only thing is as Ramarao commented, some presentations of this kind have the current slide as a window in window along with the presenter, this is enormously helpful in following and understanding what the presenter is saying. But, nevertheless, an excellent introduction with meat (second part).

[@deeptarungupta9906]

Presentation is great. But slide content is not visible most of the time even .

[@Kevin-kg5oj]

Late answer but I found the slides at www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/video/introduction-to-neo4j-and-graph-databases/

[@jamesr.mireles7964]

Bingo!

[@kry0genyk]

Is the console application available in a public repo?

[@kiran9k9]

I am nuts for Mystic River too :)

[@nowzarifarhad]

I also came across something else, I know the neo4j engine and cypher is really cool but I really don't like to put the queries and commands inside a string variable in VisualStudio with no inellisense support and no syntax highlighting. It will be problematic for a big project and for the beginners. I checked that there is a neo4jclient library available but it doesn't look that much promising really and you have OGM on Java only. Is there any plan to improve on this part?

[@nowzarifarhad]

Basically schema migrations won't have a place here right? only data migration matters which should be done by code which is the case also for entity framework migrations.

[@Kuvaldis1983]

Thanks!! Good presentation!!!

[@burnblue]

Not that it matters, but notice that every one of these attendees are from different parts of the world?

[@alute5532]

Elicitation session

[@jackalvarez9866]

Very Good!

[@doubleo_46]

amazing :)

[@yapdog]

Am I the only one who's looking at the simple Dan & Ann graph and seeing just how frightening this all is?

[@jufrywukungsenggoupi9546]

fik pasti bisa

[@Linuxhippy2]

too bad neo4j browser is so horrible slow

[@alute5532]

Not saying nothing possible but it it's difficult don't forget it that way Use match The car gets bound to max vars in Database Merge Get or create Merge = 1 Want to create a unique node property constraints from the start Create constraint on person Assert exists label name Join created at query runtime Live data query, still compute it every single time Need more joins query complexity grows Adding new data, and relationships, where you get into the NoSql sql schema bound is good on data integrity but bad in evolvability and Agility Hard to redefine relationship on fly and redefine a graphive data, everytime you recompure the data doing lot more scans than strictly necessary Data lineage problem Are as acyclic graph Give all info from data sourced by source X Recursive sql using dried procedures Cipher defined relationship hops Problem is grsphy thus intuitive by using neo4js It mimics a read only svheme Values only computed once When data was written, and never again Traversing data is cheap because it's about pointer dereferencing

[@DrRandyDavila]

Love how everyone is using a MacBook Pro

[@andrewjacks4108]

Must be watching a different video to me

[@dbiswas]

Why do you keep referring "Google" this and google that while you are presenting on Microsoft world :) LOL !!! Please no offense to anyone, but bing is also an awesome search engine. But man, this is awesome presentation. I am working on a hack project and I have few ideas to build some solution that I can build using Neo4j especially with cypher query language. Thanks for uploading this video.

[@MrNagano00]

Google has become kind of standard vernacular for many people to say "search on the web". It's something pretty much everyone does lol. Even if you're at microsoft it's a hard habit to get rid of!

[@whiskyodtw3960]

the lecture is quite informative, but why the hell do you need to focus constantly on the speaker insteed of on the slides! THIS ruines everything!

[@lilymclachlan716]

great tutorial! would love to see more women in the room next time

[@BigHotCrispyFry]

Awesome presentation!
