This week opens in new tabMax De Marzi added two new posts to his opens in new tabBuild a Dating site series.

In opens in new tabPart 8 Max adds functionality to allow users to High Five and Low Five posts. He also makes it possible to block users that abuse the feature.

In opens in new tabPart 9 we implement the read side of the feature. Users can now see the high fives they’ve been given, and won’t see any interactions with users that they’ve blocked.

opens in new tabRik Van Bruggen wrote a blog post in which he shows how to analyse data from opens in new tabESCO, the European Skills, Competences, Qualifications and Occupations, into Neo4j.

Rik starts by showing how to import the data using opens in new tabCypher’s LOAD CSV command, before executing shortest path queries between two job titles based on the skills required to do those jobs.

He concludes the post with a quick look at what we could do with this dataset using opens in new tabNeo4j Bloom.
