Course details
Data is becoming more complex, and graph databases are perfect for storing and representing complex relationships between data. In this course, instructor Andreas Kretz introduces you to Neo4j fundamentals and walks you through creating a data project using Neo4j. Andreas explains terminology and goes over the properties of graph databases and the differences in data modeling between relational and graph databases. He goes over Neo4j query language, as well as deployment and scaling. Andreas shows you how to set up your environment and write data to your data project, then demonstrates how to query the data. He finishes up with a review of what you have learned and suggestions for learning more.
