Overview of this book

Neo4j is the world's leading graph database and offers users a radical new way of dealing with connected data. This book has been created to help you get to grips with it, providing you with an accessible route through a tool built to contend with the complexity of modern data. Learn the fundamental concepts behind Neo4j, and put them into practice by following the featured examples and use cases that demonstrate how to apply your knowledge to real problems. Starting with a brief introduction to graph theory, this book will show you the advantages of using graph databases. Following on from that, you will be introduced to Neo4j and you will be shown how to install it on various operating systems. You will then be shown how you can model and import your data into Neo4j. This book has two use case examples that will show you how to model and implement a graph in Neo4j by analyzing a user case, and analyze the impact a change has on a process or a system.

Chapter 1. Graphs and Graph Theory – an Introduction

People have different ways of learning new topics. We know that background information can contribute greatly to a better understanding of new topics. That is why, in this chapter of our Learning Neo4j book, we will start with quite a bit of background information, not to recount the tales of history, but to give you the necessary context that can lead to a better understanding of topics.

In order to do so, we will address the following topics:

  • Graphs: What they are and where they came from. This section will aim to set the record straight on what exactly our subject will contain and what it won't.
  • Graph theory: What it is and what it is used for. This section will give you quite a few examples of graph theory applications, and it will also start hinting at applications for graph databases such as Neo4j later on.

So, let's dig right in.
