Stuart Herbert - DeCYPHERing Graph Databases and Neo4J

The March 1st meet up is going to be presented by Stuart Herbert (https://twitter.com/stuherbert)

Abstract:

What if you could design a database on paper, and translate that design directly into your application without having to make any changes? What if you could sit down and design that database with a product owner or business analyst, and they could understand that design without any training? That's the future that graph databases has to offer.

In this talk, Stuart will walk you through a real-life graph database that powers one of his client's sites. He'll show you how he built it in Neo4J, how to query it using CYPHER - Neo4J's query language and secret weapon - and how to hook it all up to a PHP web-app.

Before/After the Meetup:

A few members will likely be in a nearby pub (location will be tweeted out) beforehand (from around 6pm) for a drink and a bite to eat, and afterwards there'll be a group heading to Soar Point (or somewhere else nearby) for a social catch up.

Parking:

Deacon Street car park is where people usually park, the postcode is LE2 7DP. (There's also spots on the street directly outside the gateway building but they're usually all taken up!) Deacon Street is available from 6pm onwards as we have permission from the University to use the car park. If the barrier is down, ring the buzzer and explain that you are attending the PHP East Midlands monthly meetup.
