Event Info Hi there, the newly formed LinkedData meetup is talking about interesting stuff, Peter Neubauer will also talk about Neo4j and LinkedData. Let's join the party! http://www.meetup.com/Linked-Data-in-Business/events/114964552/

Event Info Leveraging connected data is becoming more and more important in the development of today’s modern web and business applications – as demonstrated by, for example, Facebook’s recent release of ‘Graph Search.’ There are many questions on the technology and potential of graph databases to meet this need. This session provides a candid look at how we at Shutl selected and implemented graph database Neo4j. Our challenge was to build a new API to cope with the rapid growth the business experienced that would have been extremely difficult with traditional database approaches. We’ll take a look at what databases solutions we selected (with a focus on Neo4j), what selection criteria we applied, what challenges we encountered during implementation and how we solved them. BIO: Volker Pacher, Senior Developer, Shutl Volker Pacher is a Senior Developer at Shutl, a London-based technology start-up offering same day delivery or delivery in any one hour slot of the customers choice by connecting online retailers with local same-day couriers.

Event Info This tutorial covers the core functionality of the Neo4j graph database. With a mixture of theory and hands-on practice sessions, attendees will quickly learn how easy it is to develop a Neo4j-backed application. Topics covered include: - Introduction to Neo4j - Overview of Cypher query language - Social use cases including recommendations - Permissions modeling - Other case studies in real world domains - Opportunity to consult on current projects, possible implementations and proof of concepts Attendees won't need any previous experience with Neo4j, NOSQL databases or specific development languages, but will need their own laptop. The tutorial will be held at Project: RHINO in Toronto, ON. Breakfast, lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Event Info This will be our first summer meetup with Elastx (http://elastx.com/). They are providers of supercool SSD only datacenter(s) based in Stockholm doing PaaS on the Jelastic platform. You can read more about them here. Or even better, come to the meetup and meet the team behind this awesome platform. The agenda is: Neo4j with Elastx/Jelastic (by Elastx team) - Introduction - deploy Neo4j on Jelastic/elastx. (Live demo, performance w SSD etc). - Performance testing as a SaaS. (check loadimpact.com), How an SSD+Neo4j instance could be the killer app. Break-out sessions This time the breakout sessions will be steeded towards Neo4j in production: - Discussion about how to manage Neo4j in production. - Every thing from HA to Puppet manifests and - future of cloud/hosting and how it will shape next generation applications
