Training
My proven developer background and experience dating back to the launch of FileMaker enables me to deliver highly effective and personalised training, explaining the features, functions and application of FileMaker. 20 years experience in delivering training courses means I understand the art of communication. Coupled with patience and humour and the ability to pitch at the right level for the audience make me an excellent instructor. A course outline can be downloaded in pdf format here - use this to form the basis of your training requirements.
An overview of FileMaker training
• Defining a database; tables, fields, relationships - building an ERD (entity relationship diagram - roadmap)
• Creating data entry screens and designing layouts
• Calculation functions
• Scripting your database and buttons
• Designing reports manually or using the reporting wizard
• Security - best practices
• Designing a backup routine and disaster recovery
• FileMaker Server - standard versus advanced - deployment & configuration
• Importing & exporting data; PDF, email, XLS, tab, ODBC, XML etc
• Web deploying your database to your intranet or the internet
Advanced FileMaker training
• Scripting and calculations - advanced techniques, tips and tricks - getting to grips with function commands
• Relationships (not easy in real life), portals, external data sources
• Designing and deploying web interfaces
All advanced courses are entirely bespoke and therefore need clear definition as to your goals and requirements
