“Spring Data – NoSQL, No Problems” speaking session by Peter Bell
Tuesday, June 19th at 10:50 am EDT in Salon D
Learn how to easily leverage NoSQL data stores as diverse as MongoDB and Neo4j quickly and easily using Spring Data. Whether you want to replace a relational database or enhance it for certain classes of queries, Spring Data can make it easier to work with NoSQL data stores in Java. This session starts off with a categorization of the classes of NoSQL stores and the kind of use cases for each, followed by a more detailed look at the Mongo and Neo4j integration capabilities available in Spring Data.
“Highly Connected Data in NOSQL Databases” speaking session by Jim Webber
Wednesday, June 20th at 12:05 pm EDT in Salon D
This talk covers the key ideas of NOSQL databases, focusing on the characteristics of graph databases for connected data. A rapid, code-focused example of the benefits of a graph database is offered with Neo4j, with a demonstration of methods to infer useful knowledge from connected, semi-structured data.
“REST in Practice: A Tutorial on Web-based Distributed Systems” tutorial by Jim Webber
Thursday, June 21st at 9:00 am EDT at Roebling/Gleason Room
The Web is fast becoming a serious competitor to traditional enterprise architecture approaches. This tutorial will provide an introduction to RESTful Web Service techniques, both from theoretical and practical perspectives. Participants should be comfortable with distributed computing concepts, but won-t need any particular integration or middleware experience.
“A Programmatic Introduction to Neo4j” tutorial by Jim Webber
Friday, June 22nd at 9:00 am EDT in Salon F
Graph databases are an esoteric but 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. The tutorial covers the core functionality from the Neo4j graph database, providing a mixture of theory and accompanying practical sessions to demonstrate the capabilities of graph data and the Neo4j database.
Peter Bell is a Neo Technology community member who regularly speaks on NoSQL topics and Neo4j. Professionally, he is Senior VP of Engineering and a Senior Fellow at General Assembly, a campus for technology, design, and entrepreneurship.
Dr. Jim Webber is Chief Scientist with Neo Technology, where he researches and develops distributed graph databases and writes open source software.
