Collected FAQ for Summer of Nodes
How do I get ready?
A great question! Here are some helpful tips on how to hit the ground running:
I am new to Neo4j
Welcome! You’re going to have lots of fun! The challenges are a gentle, enjoyable way to introduce you to Neo4j and graphs without prior knowledge. However, if you want to get a head start (no harm in that 
) you can:
- Watch a video on why might you use a graph database
- Or another video on the property graph model
- Have a go at the Movie Graph on Sandbox. Follow the introductory guide on how to navigate the environment, and then run :PLAY movie-graph
- Do the free introductory training course
I’ve got some Neo4j experience under my belt
Welcome, too! These challenges will probably be testing your Cypher prowess, as well as using some of the available plugins and other resources. It might be a good idea to be comfortable looking up various documentation. While you don’t have to do any specific preparation before we get started, perhaps consider doing the Neo4j Certification, if you’ve not already done so!
