Author Bio

Ian Robinson is the co-author of REST in Practice (O'Reilly Media, 2010). Ian is an engineer at Neo Technology, working on a distributed version of the Neo4j database. Prior to joining the engineering team, Ian served as Neo's Director of Customer Success, managing the training, professional services, and support arms of Neo, and working with customers to design and develop mission-critical graph database solutions. Ian came to Neo Technology from ThoughtWorks, where he was SOA Practice Lead and a member of the CTO's global Technical Advisory Board. Ian presents frequently at conferences worldwide on topics including the application of graph database technologies, and RESTful enterprise integration.

Dr. Jim Webber is Chief Scientist with Neo Technology where he researches novel graph databases and writes open source software. Previously, Jim spent time working with big graphs like the Web for building distributed systems, which led him to being co-author on the book REST in Practice, having previously written Developing Enterprise Web Services - An Architect's Guide. Jim is active in the development community, presenting regularly around the world. His blog is located at http: //jimwebber.org and he tweets often @jimwebber.

Emil Eifrem is CEO of Neo Technology and co-founder of the Neo4j project. Before founding Neo, he was the CTO of Windh AB, where he headed the development of highly complex information architectures for Enterprise Content Management Systems. Committed to sustainable open source, he guides Neo along a balanced path between free availability and commercial reliability. Emil is a frequent conference speaker and author on NoSQL databases.
