Many thanks, I had just got stuck into learning Java but I will switch to Javascript before I have invested too much time! I have spent quite a lot of time reading and watching the online material as well a some books and that is how I have got comfortable with neo4j itself. My novice status is confirmed by not knowing what font and backends are but I will just google it and ignore any results mentioning horses! I will also have to learn how to use Github but I have found a load of videos for new users so I can see I will be kept out of mischief for the foreseeable!
