Exploring Graph Databases showcases chapters from three Manning books, chosen by authors and graph database gurus Dave Bechberger and Josh Perryman. In the first chapter, you’ll jump right into building a graph data model hands-on, following a tried-and-true four-step process. Next, you’ll appreciate how graphs and machine learning work hand-in-hand to transform raw data into powerful, actionable wisdom as you explore several real-world applications. In the final chapter, you’ll get familiar with GraphQL, a popular, high-utility query language, as you perform various tasks using its feature-rich, interactive, in-browser IDE. Begin discovering the strengths and benefits of graph databases and their applications with this packed (and free!) primer.
Graph Databases in Action introduces you to graph database concepts by comparing them with relational database constructs. You'll learn just enough theory to get started, then progress to hands-on development. Discover use cases involving social networking, recommendation engines, and personalization.
