ISO FileMaker Magazine: FileMaker Video Tutorials, Templates, Help & More

I thought this was very nicely done, thoroughly & clearly explained.

I agree with the comment above, but the subject of the video wasn't what I expected--I guess rather than a basic tour of the features of this website (which was well done and I did learn something), I thought I'd see an explanation of a basic FileMaker technique to be able to judge whether or not this would be a good use of your energies. I think your clear explanations and fresh style would do a great job at this, and perhaps it would be a good market to tap into as there are a lot of people who could use clear explanations of the basics and demonstrations of best practices, etc. It would probably also pair well with FileMaker's recent appeal to the tech market for a more reasonably (for small developers anyway) priced subscription to the new TechNet.

Would you have an additional subscription fee to such a track? Discounts for subscribing to multiple tracks?

Whatever you decide, good luck! I wish I had more time :-) but this was good lunchtime listening!

I would put my knowledge of FileMaker, practically, in the BASIC range. But my passion to learn FileMaker extends my desires for knowledge far beyond. I know, I'm missing fundamental building blocks and I find myself back pedaling a lot. Re-reading or re-watching your material. My feedback to you is, people with a desire to learn, will sail though beginner and want to spend more time at intermediate levels. Revisiting Basic is easier than revisiting Advanced.

I like to know that things are possible to do, well before I'm able to execute them in a database. Which is why I have your Scriptology templates and subscribe to your magazine. To know what's achievable before I'm mentally capable, makes FileMaker more of an addicting SUDUKO puzzle, than actual work.

I liked the video, but I watched while reading this month's MacWorld. I did jot down in my FileMaker Journal your pointers, hints, and keystroke shortcuts.

I've purchased all the thick books, but I'm a visual learner, I need your visual explanations. I'm waiting for BRAINSTORMING Part III, myself.

Nice video Matt but only to watch?

Well done and I hope to see more of this series works.

I am a FileMaker junkie.
Whatever information I can get about the program I will read listen to or watch.
These vidoes look as if they will fill a gaping hole in FileMaker's documentation and tutorials.
Keep up the good work, Matt

I agree with the comments above and would like to see you continue this series. In the example I would like you to continue develpment including Line Items etc with a line table.

I would like to understand custom variables and custom functions better. I'd love to see a basic video on those.

Thanks for all your good work.

I'm probably missing something but the sound and the screen are not in sync ...

:-?

It would be nice to have some FileMaker fundementals that I could project to the end users when I install a solution. How to navigate, how to add a record, how to do a simple find, how to sort and how to print. While it's all well and good to button everything to make it transparent, I do open source for private non-profits who can't afford "Lynda.com" CDs. Would love for folks to be able to use the basic UI tools rather than having to do all the work for them.

No training in making new solutions, just using the FM UI to get past the first time user's "How do I do this?" and "What is this? initial stage.
