@12:59 what do you mean "both of these queries SHOULD have the same performance"? Might there be a potential difference in how the two styles of queries perform?
Sorry, that was a nuance that I shouldn't have expressed. The queries are going to be interpreted by the Cypher language interpreter. The intent is that they have the same performance because the paths they take for processing are designed to be identical. However, due to the way query parsing works, there's a chance that new features could introduce differences, but those would be considered bugs and be resolved.
Thanks for the video. At the start of the syntax explanation it's stated that it can be hyphens or brackets. But never mentioned how exactly the hyphens variant works. Would be useful to know
We have a "Beginner's Guide to Cypher" which will go into just that detail. Please feel free to take a look neo4j.com/whitepapers/getting-started-with-cypher/
Neo4j thanks, that's useful. I've found Structr, searching for the app building with neo4j. May be you can recommend something in this regard too? Like a solution of working with the neo4j db which provides the front end and potential to be able to compose the app into iOS/Android and no code. Don't you know btw, Backendless uses Graph or relational db?

4:44 - just a thought but shouldnt the Lives With relationship be going both ways - and that should be implied by the relationship type (i.e. if "Lives With" relationship type isnt possible unless it was going in both directions)
That's a good point. We could represent another relationship in the other direction, or assume bi-directionality, which is normally what you would do (as the extra relationship would always exist, so representing it in the graph is just using bytes that are unnecessary).
Hey, guys! Enjoying the videos, but one small critique: The audio on these videos is very low; they could do with some normalization. Very minor change. Thanks for uploading the content!
Why do you use singular when talking about the result of a query? It's a set of persons that Ann loves (or has loved) and a set of cars that she drives (or has been driving if you include historical data). Only if the query asks for the person she loves the most (needs a relationship weight property) or for her first car or the car she has been driving most often or for the longest total distance, the result is a single result or empty.
What happened to "helloooo?" I thought it was your trademark. But seriously, thank you for making these videos :) - very accessible introduction to neo4j.
Marek Bernád apologies for the low sound. however i’m not sure why sound at 100% is resulting in whispering for you. Listening at 50% on my iphone speaker is perfectly fine, though it’s a little light when wearing headphones. do you have a separate volume control for youtube vs your system sound?
@@ryguyrg I am sorry... my speaker on computer suddenly stopped working correctly, on 50% possibility of its power now ... the video is fine on headphones... good tip, sorry again...
Marek Bernád no worries. the sound is low on the recording (right click, stats for geeks shoes -20db off of RUclips standard). so obviously bad, but not *that* bad ;-)
Hi there.. I don't really. Not yet. I've just started to delve in to this whole thing, and have prior only heard the terms being used at my university where the professor pronounced "SQL" by spelling it, and as for query, well.. Slightly differently. XD I didn't mean anything bad.
Please put a developer on the job. The actual content starts after 5 min. A real dev would've probably come to the point much better and the video would only take 10 minutes.

Great explanation! I think more people should see this.
Very informative and clear to understand. Thanks!

Very nicely explained. What a concept: querying GRAPHS!
this is a quality tutorial, informative examples, well done Ryan 👏
Great tutorial, but @ 7:50, shouldn't -[:HIRED {type: 'fulltime'})-> be -[:HIRED {type: 'fulltime'}]-> ?
Ichinin Yes. absolutely. was going to correct it but required re-uploading video in youtube. then tried a “card” in youtube tho it had to be a link. i’ll see if i can pull something off as obviously it’s something people are noticing! thanks for the comment
@@neo4j Thanks for verifying!
I just started going through these. These are the definition of hot fire I am looking to integrate with my Graphql queries
12:05 of course Ann loves Dan, he's 5 years younger and driving his car!
audio is very low
Enough to understand
Very detailed. Thank you for this.
Thanks! This is a must watch video for beginners!
Theres a typo on the relationship slide, closing parenthesis should be closing square bracket `-[h:HIRED{type: 'fulltime'} *]* ->`
At 7:58 at 'relationships have properties too' shouldn't the last bracket be square instead of a closing parenthesis?

nicely explained thanks for the valuable time. your microphone might have some issue - audio is not much clear.
Thanks. Appreciate the feedback.
There is a typo at 8:00 ? parenthesis closes instead of bracket
Thanks. Good catch. @lchinin (mentioned . below) and you both have great eyes! Cheers.
We created constraint on person node why it is not allowing to create name property on Dog node?
Hey, guys! Enjoying the videos, but one small critique: The audio on these videos is very low; they could do with some normalization. Very minor change. Thanks for uploading the content!
Nate Wynd thanks Nate. Ironically i actually lowered the volume of this one to avoid peaking. Will research the levels appropriate for youtube more!
I thought that also.. in headphones with noise around is hard to hear
+Neo4j Try multiband compression followed by a limiter, that should solve all problems with levels or peaking :-)
audio chain: EQ > MB Comp > Limiter
it's been 3 years since this video and they still haven't fixed the audio issue. what does that tell you about the developers
After a long time I said the thats the point videos!

You've been saying "SQL" as "sequel" and "query" as "curry" and that's been confusing me so much for some reason xD
Hi there.How do you pronounce SQL? Query as "curry" must be my Pennsylvania accent ;-)
Hi there..
I don't really. Not yet.
I've just started to delve in to this whole thing, and have prior only heard the terms being used at my university where the professor pronounced "SQL" by spelling it, and as for query, well.. Slightly differently. XD

@@Gandeloft Well, that explains it. SQL is pronounced "sequel" in the industry (or at least, by all professionals I've had interaction with).
