Module 1

The Driver

In this module, you'll learn the fundamentals of working with Neo4j in Python applications. You will start by learning how to install the Neo4j Python Driver and use it to connect to a Neo4j database instance.

Throughout this module, you will explore:

  • Installing the Neo4j Python Driver
  • Creating driver instances and verifying connectivity
  • Executing your first Full definition for Cypher (opens in a new tab)Neo4j's implementation of GQL, the ISO standard query language for graph databases. It is declarative: you describe the pattern to find, and the database decides how to find it. queries using the execute_query() method
  • Understanding the driver lifecycle and how to properly manage connections

By the end of this module, you'll have the foundation needed to start building Python applications with Neo4j.
