Hi all It was only a week ago when I was introduced to Neo4J by my business partner and I thought: "How have I not seen this before?" I have a background in software engineering and am most proficient in Java. As a business improvement consultant I help organizations make their digital transformation matter. In my spare time I have been working on a set of tools that highly depend on graphs, but never did I consider using a graph database to do the dirty work. As soon as I found out about embedded Neo4J, I wanted to give it a try. I haven't had time yet to play around with it, so I just started by reading the book. Anyways you might encounter me asking some questions as I find some time to refactor our app to use Neo4J inside instead of JGraphT. From what I have read so far, it looks like Neo4J is the platform we were looking for to make us move forward a lot faster. Cheers Gino ---
