Saving and evaluating network paths in Neo4j
Installation
If you point a browser at the URL, you see the web interface mentioned above and can play with tutorials or feed in test data of your own. At the time of writing, the latest stable Neo4j version on Ubuntu 12.04 was 2.0.1. If you run the Neo4j server in a virtual machine or on a different host and would like to access it from some other location, you need to comment out the following line in the /etc/neo4j/neo4j-server.properties
configuration file:
org.neo4j.server.webserver.address=0.0.0.0
Otherwise, the web server will block queries that do not originate from localhost.
Start Reading
The Neo4j website [1] mentions two books as recommended reading in addition to the man pages. The new Kindle book by Neo4j contributor Michael Hunger [3] (in German) offers a whirlwind tour of the Cypher syntax and presents some practical Neo4j examples. However, apart from the attached Cypher cheat sheet, it is not a reference work; it just scratches the surface here and there.
The second recommendation from the Neo4j website is a one-year-old O'Reilly book called Graph Databases [4], which – despite the comprehensive-sounding title – is devoted almost entirely to Neo4j and presents a variety of true Neo4j applications in detail. Even this book, however, lacks the carefully developed structure of a textbook. The true reference book for what is still a fairly recent subject has apparently not yet been written – perhaps Neo4j in Action, which has been announced by Manning Publishing, will step into this gap.
