Publisher Description
Learning FileMaker™ is a lifelong journey and, along the way, we come up with better ways of doing things. We learn to adapt and think outside the box.
Written primarily for the novice to intermediate (and especially in-house) developers this book teaches by the use of case studies and walks you through the process of solving each. With lots of videos, expert level tips and tricks plus sample files that you can tear down, this is an essential resource for anybody wanting to reduce their learning curve.
Michael Rocharde has been a full-time professional FileMaker developer since 1987 and he's been writing about FileMaker since the mid-1990s. This is his 2nd book on FileMaker; the first one was published in April 2012 and has sold over 1000 copies in 23 countries.
Customer Reviews
FileMaker & You was written for me!
Thank you to Michael Rocharde for making FileMaker not only more easily approached, but for putting it in a way that makes one feel that this massive and ever-updating resource, (FileMaker 16 just released) is approachable and can become a fluid way to handle and optimize technology for data resource utilization. The videos, the examples, the indexing and even the call to arms: "You should write a FileMaker book" are inspirational. If I can figure out how to rate this book, I will give it a 5 out of 5.
A great resource — especially for in-house developers
Agreed that this is not your mother’s FileMaker Training Book. Michael has been exceedingly generous with his knowledge in this book and his previous one, and both make wonderful use of the iBooks platform. I think any developer will find something new here, but I’d especially recommend FileMaker & You and FileMaker & Me to the self-taught in-house developers who learned FileMaker piecemeal as they went along, project by project. Michael shares his overall approach and best practices, and we are all better for it.
Different Approach - Not Your Mother’s FileMaker Training Book
Michael Rocharde takes a totally differnt approach to FileMaker training in this book. He shows how his thought process starts with trying to solve a particular problem and then how he applies his knowledge of FileMaker to solve that problem with a solution that is both efficient and well suited to the user’s needs. It is like seeing through the trees to actually see the forest. I came away with a lot of ahah moments in reading through the book and plan to disect the sample files that are given in the book to make Michael’s techniques part of my FileMake knowledge base. It is a really nicde bag of tricks that have helped me move up the FileMaker learning curve.
