This document outlines an agenda and logistics for a training on Neo4j fundamentals and Cypher. It introduces graph concepts like nodes, relationships, and properties. It discusses why graphs are useful and shows examples of real-world domains that can be modeled as graphs. The training will cover introductory Cypher concepts like creating and matching patterns, and modeling exercises like representing a social network or movie genres graph. Logistics are provided like the WiFi password and a suggestion to work together in pairs on exercises.
An introduction to Neo4j and Graph Databases. Learn about the primary use cases for Graph Databases and explore the properties of Neo4j that make those use cases possible.
This presentation introduces the graph model as obvious choice for rich and connected data. Graph Databases are a category of open-source NoSQL datastores which are specialized in storing, handling and querying graph structures efficiently.
Use cases represent the applicability of the graph model across many domains.
Neo4j as the most widely used graph database supports the property graph model, which is explained in detail.
To query a graph database a powerful and expressive but also friendly and easily understandable query language that is tailored for graph patterns is key. Neo4j's Cypher is such a query language developed from the ground up to support expressing challenging use-cases in a comprehensive way.
A series of examples rounds up the presentation to apply the lessons learned.
This developer-focused webinar will explain how to use the Cypher graph query language. Cypher, a query language designed specifically for graphs, allows for expressing complex graph patterns using simple ASCII art-like notation and offers a simple but expressive approach for working with graph data.
During this webinar you'll learn:
-Basic Cypher syntax
-How to construct graph patterns using Cypher
-Querying existing data
-Data import with Cypher
-Using aggregations such as statistical functions
-Extending the power of Cypher using procedures and functions

Complex hierarchical relationships between entities can only be mapped with difficulty in a relational database and demanding queries are usually quite slow.
Graph databases are optimized for exactly these kinds of relationships and can provide high-performance results even with huge amounts of data. Moreover, not only the entities that are stored in the database, have attributes, but also their relationships. Queries can look at entities as well as their relationships.
Get to know the basics of graph databases, using Neo4j as an example, and see how it is used C# projects.

They forgot the essence of DevOps which is about people and not only from Dev to Ops. In this session, we will show you how we are currently building a DevOps culture with a focus on continuous improvement.
Accelerate Innovation and Digital Transformation – How Neo4j Can HelpNeo4j
What’s the best way to understand your business challenge and accelerate innovation – Innovation Lab or Bootcamp? We would like to argue – it depends!
The Innovation Lab is an onsite Design Sprint, where we educate business and technical users on the potential of graph technology and explore use cases by prototyping graph projects together with our customers. They gain a deep understanding of Graph Thinking and the possibilities in innovation and digital transformation within their organization.
The Bootcamp is a more technical exercise where we educate the development team and co-create a small Proof of Concept based on a real-life dataset for a clearly identified use case.
So, it depends on the customer’s specific needs and stage from what they benefit most – designing and prototyping versus creating.

Outrageous ideas for Graph Databases
Almost every graph database vendor raised money in 2021. I am glad they did, because they are going to need the money. Our current Graph Databases are terrible and need a lot of work. There I said it. It's the ugly truth in our little niche industry. That's why despite waiting for over a decade for the "Year of the Graph" to come we still haven't set the world on fire. Graph databases can be painfully slow, they can't handle non-graph workloads, their APIs are clunky, their query languages are either hard to learn or hard to scale. Most graph projects require expert shepherding to succeed. 80% of the work takes 20% of the time, but that last 20% takes forever. The graph database vendors optimize for new users, not grizzly veterans. They optimize for sales not solutions. Come listen to a Rant by an industry OG on where we could go from here if we took the time to listen to the users that haven't given up on us yet.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
