Neo4j Traversers and Pattern Matchers

In his presentation, Ian Robinson from ThoughtWorks, demonstrates how to implement both graph traverser and pattern matcher objects.

In his example of a graph traverser object, the use case demonstrates how you can traverse a graph looking for users who have particular likes and are customers of a certain company/sponsor. In this case, both Jim and Ian like the cinema experience, however, the traverser implemented will allow only Ian to receive the voucher to the Ritzy cinema because he is an Orange customer.

In his example of pattern matcher objects, he demonstrates how you can build a simple recommendation matcher.
