With 25 years of FileMaker experience and a long time speaker at FileMaker's Developer Conference, Richard will teach you all the ins and outs of building FileMaker Solutions, while keeping an eye on customizing your own copy of a FREE Starter Solution!

Richard Carlton explains FileMaker in a simple, easy to understand way which makes it perfect for beginners. However, he also adds important concepts which users of all levels need to remember and includes pearls of wisdom frequently not found anywhere else. It really is excellent.

By David Benfield

Best FileMaker course out there. Everything you need to know is in it and it is well laid out. Can't recommend it enough!

Very practical and easy to follow

By Greg Merriman

I came across this training course when I discovered the fantastic FileMaker Starting Point (FMSP). FMSP is a free fully functioning and fully loaded database solution which is adaptable to any business need. It is so packed with stuff that to get any real benefit from it you need to get some instruction and that's where this video training course comes in. It covers everything from the most basic functionality to really advanced topics and guides you step by step through both FMSP specifically, and FileMaker Pro in general and is delivered in a very accessible manner. Some of the concepts can be difficult to grasp so having videos where you can go back over the content again and again makes sure that you get the information, and the methods of implementation that you need. I have personally been using FileMaker for over ten years but it was only when I downloaded FMSP and started using the videos in this course that I realised how little I knew and how much more FileMaker could do to make my work life so much easier. A big advantage with viewing the videos on Udemy is that you do not need to have a copy of FileMaker installed (with the downloadable version it runs inside FileMaker). Very importantly, when I ran into difficulties with trying to implement my specific needs, an email to RCC got a quick helpful response which got me going again. To summarise - this course includes all the basics you need to get up and running and if you keep going it also provides very advanced topics. You definitely will not be disappointed and if you give all the included video tutorials your attention you will be able to do things with FileMaker that you never thought possible.

RCC has made learning and working with FileMaker so easy. Richard teaches FM in such a way that almost anyone can learn from him. His team has built quite an extensive library that can help you from basic design all the way to integrating your solution on the web. Definitely a course that is worth it's weight in gold!

By Cristian

Take my hat off to you Richard

By Khanchi .

Another great course that Richard Carlton has made available. I love the fact that he is targeting real world problems and their solutions. I've seen many video tutorials, but unlike others he is not afraid to go outside his comfort zone and shares his 25 years experience with everyone. Contributing to the FileMaker community a free solution as great as FM Starting Point, without expecting any return, is very rare and I praise him for that.

By Vaughn Clement

Richard Carlton has a great following online through the offer of excellent training courses. He has now provided training materials at Udemy for his superb business application. I highly recommend his course that provides a full solution starter program.

By John Wood

Richard Carlton does a great job of explaining the ins and outs of filemaker. He will go out of his way with great support if you are not clear on a particular issue.

Great Job
