Do you find the IMDB app useful in this context? ----------- Regarding the "where to download the code" in the Getting Started page - the code download should perhaps be on top. And yes, I know I have no patience to read to the end of a document, or read every line thouroghly. But that's my generation of "I want everything in BOLD F***ING COLORS which say DOWNLOAD and PLAY. And if I don't see what I want in less than a minute, I go somewhere else!" This is my experience after looking @ http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/IMDB_Example and https://svn.neo4j.org/laboratory/users/andersn/imdb-app : Imdb looks well written and comprehensible for web developers. But the example is a little bit to big for a first time look at the code. I would rather use a The Getting Started code + mvn pom for sending internally in my company as a first view. Imdb is a good runner up for answering the question: "Alright, I've gotten Neo4J up and running, now what?". The application has a very inwards focus on traversal towards kevin bacon. I guess the app is meant to show the strength of searching for the shortest path. But you can't do much more and the fun in clicking links soon runs out. It's hard to come up with movie names Have some way of secondary navigation ready, sideways and outwards traversal - other movies played by actor... I believe an end user is intimidated by a web page with endless possibilities and a huge DB, but an empty search result and little to click at to get to the data. The search page should show a pre-filled search result to get the user started. An intermediate search-result page could relieve much pain for the user instead of choosing the first result. Automatically fill in wildcards. I had a hard time finding the code that "binds together" the app, and I'm just guessing that it is ImdbServiceImpl. I guess that is party because of Spring, but a core class outside of the domain/util/parser/ web folders could have made it more easy to see where to get started with creating a similar app. There is also a imdb app in https://svn.neo4j.org/laboratory/imdb-app which users are more likely to be drawn to when browsing your svnrepo - confusing! NO TESTS!!!!1 - Tests don't exist for CI, but documention of what the app does. Tests give code readers expectations to what he can do with the app. Check out JWebUnit - http://ultimate-roundtrip.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/test/java/no/lau/ultimate/roundtrip/web/page/GooglePageTest.java pom.xml does not have the normal dtd/xsd header Could imdb/icons be moved out of the root project folder? I guess the "var" catalogue is used for persisting neo. But couldn't it be called neo-db or neo-files? + jetty:run!!!! + code cleanlyness + nice looking GUI + pom which is self-contained, including neo4j-public-repository. Though <build> could be moved to the bottom. -Stig, _______________________________________________ Neo mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
