IT Solutions offers a two-day intermediate course for FileMaker developers who are ready to take their solutions to the next level. We have chosen a number of great lessons from the FileMaker Training Series curriculum (the official training curriculum from FileMaker, Inc.) that are appropriate for developers who already have some experience but need to dig deeper into what FileMaker Pro has to offer.

We will examine all of the different kinds of fields and field options available. We will create calculation fields and use the calculation engine in other parts of the database throughout the course. We will cover all aspects of layout design and explore the many tools that FileMaker makes available for you to design a rich user interface, such as conditional formatting, tooltips and tab controls.

You will be introduced to scripts and you will create summary reports that will help convert your raw data into meaningful information. We will also discuss how relational databases work, how to plan a relational database and how to translate your planning into a FileMaker solution. This class is perfect for users who need to start adding features to an existing system or developers who are relatively new to FileMaker Pro. You should already have some experience using FileMaker, but extensive development experience is not required.

FileMaker-in-Action Workshop
Up to four students will bring copies of their own system along with three "development challenges" that they are facing. During the first half of the class, each student will have an opportunity to provide an overview of his/her solution and the instructor will lead a brainstorming session with the group to come up with theoretical solutions for the development challenges. After lunch, each student will work on his/her own system, implementing the recommended development solutions. The instructor will work one-on-one with each student providing guidance and suggestions. Throughout the afternoon, the instructor will reconvene the group as teaching moments arise out of each individual´s independent work.

This workshop offers an excellent opportunity to learn how to implement difficult development challenges in your own system while expanding your knowledge by learning about the challenges that other developers face with real-world systems. This is an advanced class and may require an instructor review of your system prior to the class day.
