Graph Databases Will Change Your Freakin' Life

## 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?
- Very simple compared to RDBMS, and much more flexible
- The real power is in relationship-focused data (most NoSQL dbs don't treat relationships as first-order)
- As related-ness and amount of data increases so does advantage of Graph DBs
- Much closer to our whiteboard model

Please try to link this with networkx. It would be helpful to see this video for a new person checking into networkx. I am not a sociologist; networkx, what could it do for me?. I figured out what I could use networkx for before seeing your video. Your video applies to my case more than the others, initially at least.
