Summary
Emil Eifrem overviews the trends leading to NOSQL (Not Only SQL), and the four emerging NOSQL solutions: key-value stores, plus column, document and graph databases. He also explains the internals of a graph database and an example of using Neo4j - a graph database - in production.

Bio
Emil Eifrem, the founder of Neo4j, created a text role-playing game (that is still being played 15 years later) in C, but is better known for being a developer, an evangelist, mentor, and consulting architect for graph databases while preaching the demise of tabular solutions everywhere.

    There seems to be a technical issue with InfoQ an slides. I've seen this on other presentations recently. There is also something wrong with the way they handle animations, even when they are very simple.

    Excellent presentation

    by Alejandro Garcia

    I think this is an excellent presentation.
    The two parts:
    Overview of NoSQL
    and
    Overview of Neo4j
    are really good.
    You can see the speaker know his stuff the talk is polished...

    And the most important thing I guess it has really made me think of experimenting with graph databases.
