Writing Neo4j Console

So, Neo4j Console is now open sourced at: https://github.com/tournr/n... feel free to branch, fix, edit whatever and issue pull requests, or even just have a gander and code review :) I thought I’d write some notes on what I’ve done and why. Let’s split it into 2 main areas, UI and Backend. The UI Extremely simple WPF front end – I mean – it’s only got 3 text boxes! If I’m honest, it’s not what I want – I want to create a console window like the F# console, something which really does act ......

Another day, another blog post update

Gist: https://gist.github.com/csk... I know! Another question on StackOverflow leads to yet another blog post being updated to use the newer Neo4jClient. So here goes: Darko Micics has written a post about using Neo4jClient with C#.Net, and a question has arisen on StackOverflow asking about how to (in effect) do this in the new version of the Neo4JClient – the version where ‘CreateRelationship’ et al have been marked as obsolete. Luckily, this is a pretty simple (twitter-ish) data set ......
