Zero to Awesome - Development: Using Custom Functions
Quite simply, you may not be using Custom Functions as much as you should be. In fact, you might not consider Custom Functions as a general place to enter code as freely as you do within calculations themselves or scripts. If this is the case, then you're likely missing out on some BIG TIME time-savers.
By using a clear strategy of organizing your custom functions, you may begin to think of this area of FileMaker as being just as vital to your development as all the rest.
Don't think simply in terms of functions specific to your whole solution. Think about using Custom Functions for just about anything. Custom Functions dedicated to one specific layout? You bet!

Adds a new dimension
It is easy for experienced developers to not fully appreciate some of the possibilities afforded by updated FM releases. This video clearly shows an extremely powerful capability. It has certainly expanded my horizon. I can't wait to finally get the latest technique file. These alone are worth the cost of the subscription, as it is so much easier to learn when one can in effect explore the code in order to understand it. Nothing quite beats getting under the hood, so to speak.
