A great introduction to Neo4j and the Cypher query language. The structure of the course was presented in an easy to follow manner because the instructor had great attention to detail, always started by introducing the concept, followed by an exercise or quiz to reinforce concepts, and would finally present the answer(s) for the given exercise. Louis, thanks so much for taking the time in putting together is course!!!! 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
