Excel & Neo4j? Let’s code that! (VSTO edition)

By Charlotte

So you have a new Graph Database, it’s looking snazzy and graphy and all that, but, well – you really want to see it in a tabular format, ‘cos you’ve got this Excel program hanging about, and well – who doesn’t love a bit of tabular data? Obviously there are loads of reasons why you…

Using Neo4j on Windows

By Charlotte

In the old days, Neo4j used to come with an .exe to install/run it, personally I’ve never used it, as it was (in my view) awkward to find all the file locations, so I’ve always used the Zip download. For a while now, you’ve only had the option of the Zip version of Neo4j, so…

Using PowerBI with Neo4j

By Charlotte

There’s an excellent post by Cédric Charlier over at his blog about hooking Neo4j into PowerBI. It’s simple to follow and get’s you up and running, but I (as a PowerBI newbie) had a couple of spots where I ran into trouble – generally with assumptions I think that are made assuming that you know…

Writing a Stored Proc in Neo4j for .NET Developers

By Charlotte

I’m a .NET developer and I have been for about 13 years or so now, predominantly in C#, but I originally (in my university days) started off programming in Java. Now, I’ve not touched Java for roughly 13 years, and I’m pretty happy with that situation. 3 years(ish) ago I started using Neo4j – as…

Let’s start with a clean slate, typically in Azure you’ve probably got a dashboard stuffed full of other things, which can be distracting,…

Branching

By Charlotte

[code lang=text] Title: "Branching" on 2008-06-17 12:11:56 Categories: "General" – "Source Control" Originally posted at geekswithblogs.net/cskardon [/code] I’ve developed in 3 main situations, University, Personally and Professionally, which I believe is probably similar for most developers. I’ll freely admit that for my personal projects I’ve rarely (if ever) utilised source control solutions, even though I…

Just Let It Go

By Charlotte

I was reading a blog post (Narcissism of Small Code Differences) today, and something rang true. Basically the post (or what I got from it), is that the differences in ways people program are just that, differences. Just because a bit of code maybe isn’t written the way I would write it, doesn’t mean it’s…
