“Full Stack GraphQL Applications,” a book by William Lyon, is hot off the presses in both print and ebook formats from Manning Publications. This book shows you how to develop full stack GraphQL applications using GraphQL, React, Apollo, and Neo4j database as well as how to deploy our application using modern cloud services such as Neo4j Aura, Auth0, Netlify, and AWS Lambda.
Along the way, we demonstrate how to use the Neo4j GraphQL library to build a GraphQL API without writing any resolvers, add custom logic using Cypher to your GraphQL server, and add authorization rules to protect your data. You can download a FREE digital copy of the full book here.
Don’t forget to code and golf before September 15! Neo4j Code Golf challenge is your chance to win prizes totaling $27,000!!
Cheers,

GRAPH VISUALIZATION: Jira in GraphXR
In this blog, Ben Goosman demonstrates how graph visualization keeps track of his company’s complex relationships as managed in Jira, Airtable, and Confluence. He creates custom workflows for GraphXR using the Grove extension to map JSON onto nodes and edges and then inserts them into a graph database.DATABASE: Updating My Graph Database Using PubChem’s Endpoints
In this post, Tom Nijhof follows up his previous article linking different synonyms of the same chemical compounds to each other. Here, he describes connecting the compounds from the U.S. National Cancer Institute to the rest of the database, and a method to continually update the data.NEO4J LIVE: Marvel Studios API
Michael Hunger walks you through accessing the Marvel API, loading the data set, visualizing the data with Bloom, and using GraphQL Toolbox.
APPLICATION: Speech To Cypher
Valerio Piccioni creates a pipeline that translates English language phrases into Cypher queries, accessing the APIs of various speech-to-text services with a Python library. He is using a deep learning tuned model of wav2vec2 that outputs the query text and a PLY yacc parser to produce the equivalent Cypher query.
TRAINING: Welcome to Graphville!
Vlad Batushkov announces the first episode of Graphville, an educational platform for engineers learning graph theory, Neo4j, and Cypher. In short and entertaining chapters, you will begin a journey into the structural elements of a Neo4j graph, pattern matching, and the basics of the Cypher query language.
TWEET OF THE WEEK: @binocularity
Don’t forget to retweet if you like it!Thanks! after inevitable data format reformating hunt from ancient Google format @WolframResearch and Mathematica came to the rescue. The Romans certainly seemed to like the Welsh borders. Time to think up some good student graph theory projects using @neo4j .. https://t.co/Ks12pwE0ot pic.twitter.com/nR7P362Zrw
