Learning about deploying and hosting the database for hundreds of simultaneous users
The work file for this software is a copy of FM Starting Point, which is a completely free and unlocked CRM. This free database works on Macs, Windows, iPads, iPhone and Android devices. We'll teach you how to customize it for your business needs while learning important FileMaker skills.
We spend some time discussing the FileMakercertification test and recommendations related to that.
For maximum awesomeness... this course will reference a number of third party products, a couple of books, etc. I make NO money in these references. During this course, we will also reference the use of FM Starting Point... to use as a free software... to anchor the development of your internal systems. You will be required to input your personal information to get this free software.
Who this course is for:
This course is a big course that covers topics for basic, intermediate and advanced skills.
No programming knowledge is required.
Intermediate users will learn a great deal, moving them into the "Expert" category.
Advanced users will benefit from learning techniques that they probably missed because they did not attend the annual FileMaker Developer's conference.
People with simple skills, like basic Excel skills will learn a tremendous amount from this course

Nice and clear coverage of the basics of Filemaker and databases in general, and then moving onto more complicated topics. It's great to get performance tips and tricks from someone with a lot of experience in FM. Also there are some bang up to date hot topics in there too!
