Welcome to the Spring Data Graph Guide Book. Thank you for taking the time to get an in depth look
into <ulink url="https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-data-graph">Spring Data Graph</ulink>.
This project is part of the <ulink url="http://springsource.org/spring-data">Spring Data project</ulink>,
which brings the convenient programming model of the Spring Framework to modern NOSQL databases.
Spring Data Graph, as the name alludes to, aims to provide support for graph databases. It currently
supports <ulink url="http://neo4j.org">Neo4j</ulink>.

Welcome to the Spring Data Graph Guide Book. Thank you for taking the time to get an in depth look into <ulink url="https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-data-graph">Spring Data Graph Library</ulink>. Spring Data Graph is part of the <ulink url="http://springsource.org/spring-data">Spring Data project</ulink> which
brings the convenient programming model of the Spring Framework to modern (mainly NOSQL) datastores.
Spring Data Graph currently provides integration for the <ulink url="http://neo4j.org">Neo4j Graph Database</ulink>.

It was written by developers for developers. So hopefully we've created a documentation that is well received by
our peers.

If you have any feedback to the Spring Data Graph Library or this book, please provide it via <ulink url="https://jira.springsource.org/browse/DATAGRAPH">SpringSource JIRA</ulink>,
the <ulink url="http://forum.springsource.org/forumdisplay.php?f=80">SpringSource NOSQL Forum</ulink>, <ulink

This book is presented as a <ulink url="http://martinfowler.com/bliki/DuplexBook.html">duplex book</ulink>, a term coined by <ulink url="http://martinfowler.com/bliki/DuplexBook.html">Martin Fowler</ulink>. A duplex book consists of at least two
parts. The first part is an easily accessible narrative, that gives the reader an overview of the topics contained
in the book. It contains lots of examples and more general discussion topics. This should be the only part of
the book that is required to be read cover-to-cover.

We chose a tutorial describing the creation of a web applicaton (cineasts.net) that allows movie enthusiasts to
find the favorites, rate them, connect with each other and enjoy social features. The application is running on
Neo4j using Spring Data Graph and the well known Spring Web Stack.
</para><para>
The second part is the classic reference documentation containing the detailed information about the library.
It discusses the programming model, the underlying assumptions, used toolset (like aspectj) as well as the APIs
for the object-graph mapping and the template approach. The reference docs should be mainly used to look up
concrete bits of information or to dig deeper into certain topics.

The second part of the book is the classic reference documentation, containing detailed information about
the library. It discusses the programming model, the underlying assumptions, and internals, as well as the
APIs for the object-graph mapping. The reference documentation is typically used to look up concrete bits of
information, or to drill down into certain topics. For hackers wanting to really delve into Spring Data
Graph, it can of course also be read cover-to-cover.
