The community team has set up the Neo4j console, a web-based graph to act as an interactive tutorial, where you can import data and easily share it online using a simple link.

Niklas Lindblad used his musical tastes as the inspiration for his screencast to introduce Neo4j, implementing Last.fm data to demonstrate how one can discover new bands, based on musical tastes and using a graph database.

After Duane began playing around with Neo4j, he soon discovered how valuable a graph database is to store connected data. He has posted two blog posts surrounding the basics of Neo4j, so that others interested can quickly leap into the world of graphs. Check out his introductory blog post and tutorial here on his blog.

"As one person puts it, if you write, you can write code, if you can draw you can draw graphs. It is really that simple."
