where can I find a neo4j quick tutorial?

Question

I was trying to save directed graphs into databases for further processing and query. And neo4j seems to fit my needs. However, I don't seem to find a good tutorial regarding the following:

Creating the database and put data in.
Making queries.

I want to be able to do them both manually and automatically (i.e. using a program). The official manual keeps talking about stuff like Maven, Index, REST API and so on, basically things I don't care about at all for now.

So any good hands-on tutorial on neo4j? Or any other graph databases you think is good for total beginners with simple needs (i.e. store graph and query graph)?

For getting started just download the Neo4j Server and start it. Then go to http://localhost:7474 for the integrated web-admin UI which allows you to enter data visually and browser/visualize and query it.

Please have a look at the Neo4j Koans by Jim Webber and Ian Robinson which are material that are used in real-world tutorials. Otherwise also have a look on http://video.neo4j.org for some screencasts and presentations and the collection of introduction links at the neo4j delicious site.

I started a blog for Neo4j beginners. The first four posts are up and they show you how to get neo4j, install it, create some sample data, find friends of friends, six degrees of separation (path finding), use gremlin scripts and cypher queries.
