Graph Databases Will Change Your Freakin' Life (Best Intro Into Graph Databases)

WTF is a graph database
Euler and Graph Theory
Math -- it's hard, let's skip it
It's about data -- lots of it
But let's zoom in and look at the basics
Relational model vs graph model
How do we represent THINGS in DBs
Relational vs Graph
Nodes and Relationships
Why use a graph over a relational DB or other NoSQL?

Much closer to our whiteboard model
