I am afraid this is a very naive post but I really, really need some advice!I have an idea for a db application which I have mulled over for years, I started with a spreadsheet and quickly realised that flat-file was never going to work, moved to Access and eventually found out enough about relational systems to twig that I had so many join tables I was wasting my time. Finally,via MongoDB I got to the point where I found Neo4j - wonderful! I can see how this absolutely CAN work for my application. It won't be easy but it clearly can do it. So far, so good... My vision is a web interface so, in addition to the structure of the database (I can manage Cypher, practice is needed, but it works for me!) I need to be able to sort out the interface between Neo4j and the browser.
Now, my problem is that I am not a software man - I last wrote code in 1978 and that was Fortran! I am utterly bewildered by the options! I suspect that I need to learn http coding to handle the browser pages (I will want to create both "simple" tick box options, rather like and estate agent's page: "price min/price max, garden yes/no etc" and also let people make more comples queries - in Cypher?) but it seems that I need Java as well - or is it python? Or Javascript? Ruby? Whichever way I go, would it help if I use Netbeans or Eclipse or is Spring especially suited to Neo??? I have watched tutorials, read pages of "stuff" but I still don't know.Precisely where do these REST API's come in Clearly, my problem is that I am starting from scratch on all fronts, i accept that I may need to stop working on the actual database until I have a handle on the tools, that's fine - but which toolset? Can anyone direct me as to where to start? I don't care whether it is the best way so long as it is a route which is (relatively) straightforward and does not involve me in learning things I subsequently find I needn't have! Any help, pointers to reference material that link it all together would be much appreciated!
