*************************************** Hi Everyone, We have a bunch of great events coming up in October. Check it out below.
We are adding more events on the regular, so be sure to check back at http://plancast.com/neo4j for updates throughout the month. If you have any questions regarding participation, feel free to email me at alli...@neotechnology.com. *WEBINAR: Getting Started with Neo4j* Thursday, 6 October @10:00 PDT Neo4j is the world's leading graph database, storing data in the nodes and relationships of a graph. The most generic of data structures, a graph elegantly represents any kind of data, preserving the natural structure of the domain. This webinar is designed to help developers achieve a fast start with Neo4j.. There are no pre-requisites. Join this webinar to learn: * basic graph concepts * modeling data in a graph * querying a graph Register: www1.gotomeeting.com/register/346898984 System Requirements PC-based attendees Required: Windows® 7, Vista, XP or 2003 Server Macintosh®-based attendees Required: Mac OS® X 10.5 or newer *Århus (Denmark) Presentation | The Web as Platform* Tuesday, 11 October 2011 @10:20 - 11:10 CEST The Web is now firmly established as the world's largest distributed application platform. In supporting today's most innovative businesses, a new breed of Web APIs is making content and services available for consumption and composition in ways that take advantage of the Web's architecture and proven capabilities. In this talk I'll summarise the path we've taken in recent years - from building applications *behind* the Web through to the emerging practice of building applications, services and APIs *of *the Web - before introducing some of the most important and successful strategies for building software on this platform. http://gotocon.com/aarhus-2011/presentation/The%20Web%20as%20Platform *Århus (Denmark) Presentation | Modeling with Graphs* Wednesday, 12 October 2011 @15:50 - 16:40 CEST Neo4j is a powerful and expressive tool for storing, querying and manipulating data. However modelling data as graphs is quite different from modelling data under with relational databases. In this talk we’ll cover modelling business domains using graphs and show how they can be persisted and queried in the popular open source graph database Neo4j. We'll contrast this approach with the relational model, and discuss the impact on complexity, flexibility and performance. We'll also discuss strategies for deciding how to proceed when a graph allows multiple ways to represent the same concept, and explain the trade-offs involved. As a side-effect, we'll examine some of the new tools for how to query graph data in Neo4j, and discuss architectures for using Neo4j in enterprise applications. http://gotocon.com/aarhus-2011/presentation/Modelling%20with%20Graphs? *Amsterdam Presentation | A Rapid Introduction to Neo4j* Friday, 14 October 2011 | 11:30 - 12:20 CEST Graph databases like Neo4j are an esoteric and powerful member of the NOSQL family. For highly connected data, graph databases can be thousands of times faster than relational databases, making Neo4j popular for managing complex data across many domains from finance to social, and telecoms to geospatial. This intensive one-day Neo4J tutorial provides a mixture of theory and hands-on practical sessions to demonstrate the capabilities of graph data and the Neo4j database. http://gotocon.com/amsterdam-2011/presentation/A%20rapid%20introduction%20to%20Neo4j<http://gotocon.com/amsterdam-2011/presentations/show_presentation.jsp?oid=3273> *Amsterdam Workshop | Neo4j Tutorial* Saturday, 15 October 2011 | 09:00 - 16:00 CEST Graph databases like Neo4j are an esoteric and powerful member of the NOSQL family.

It supports transparent AspectJ based POJO to Graph Mapping, a Neo4jTemplate API and extensive support for Spring Data Repositories. It can work with an embedded graph database or with the standalone Neo4j Server. http://www.springone2gx.com/conference/chicago/2011/10/session?id=24028 *London Workshop | REST in Practice* Monday, 31 October 2011 | 9:00 - 17:00 GMT The Web is fast becoming a serious competitor to traditional enterprise architecture approaches. This full day workshop will provide an introduction to RESTful Web Service techniques, both from a theoretical and practical perspective. http://jaxlondon.com/2011/workshops/ *************************************** *Allison Sparrow* * **Marketing Manager | Neo Technology* +19499036091 | @ayeeson <http://twitter.com/#%21/ayeeson> _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
