1 Introducing and Installing Neo4j

Graph databases in general, and Neo4j in particular, have gained increasing interest in the past few years. They provide a natural way of modeling entities and relationships and take into account observation context, which is often crucial to extract the most out of your data. Among the different graph database vendors, Neo4j has become one of the most popular for both data storage and analytics. A lot of tools have been developed by the company itself or the community to make the whole ecosystem consistent and easy to use: from storage to querying, to visualization to graph data science. As you will see through this book, there is a well-integrated application or plugin for each of these topics.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
