This is what happens when you phone me up at 6am on a Saturday morning: you get a surprisingly energetic Tatham babbling about discussing Neo4j and graph databases for an hour. There are even some nice bird sounds in the background towards the end, as they finally woke up too.
We discussed what graph databases are (as opposed to charts!), some domains where you might use one, how they relate to other stores like document and relational databases, query performance, bad database jokes, my obsession with health data (go.tath.am/weight, go.tath.am/fitbit, go.tath.am/cycling, go.tath.am/blood), the Cypher query language, ASCII art as a job, Readify/Neo4jClient for the .NET folks, and some Neo4j+NewRelic.
Useful? Help the Children.
If this podcast was useful to you, perhaps you could donate to my next charity cycle? I’ll be cycling the first leg of the 26 day, 3,716km Variety cycle. Variety, the Children’s Charity is a a national not-for-profit organisation dedicated to transforming the lives of children in need. Variety’s vision is for all children to attain their full potential; regardless of ability or background – and their mission is to enrich, improve, and transform the lives of seriously ill, disadvantaged and special needs children.
