Graph Data Modeling for Neo4j

This free four-hour, self-paced course teaches you how to begin modeling your application as a graph.

You will learn the best practices for Neo4j graph modeling and gain experience modeling a sample application, as well as evolving a model as the application requirements change.

The lessons of this course include:

1. Introduction to Graph Data Modeling
2. Designing the Initial Graph Data Model
3. Graph Data Modeling Core Principles
4. Common Graph Structures
5. Refactoring and Evolving a Graph Data Model

This course is intended for developers, admins, architects, anybody who might be participating in the modeling exercise for your application. It does not have any requirement for you to set up your environment, although it does require that you use the Arrow tool for developing your models.

We also have this discussion area on our Community Site if you have any particular issues or questions around the training. That’s true for any of our online training courses.

Are you a Certified Neo4j Professional yet?

If you go through the course Introduction to Neo4j 4.0, you’ll be prepared to take the free certification exam.

When you pass the exam and become a Neo4j Certified Professional, you gain exclusive access to advanced training half-day courses that have not yet made it into our online catalog at GraphAcademy. This year we are offering eight different mini-courses that will be offered virtually and will be recorded for later viewing.

So that’s a brief overview of what we have for our three new courses on GraphAcademy. We hope you get something out of these courses and they help you to learn more about Neo4j.
