ISO FileMaker Magazine

It doesn't really matter where your skill level is at with FileMaker Pro, there's always more to learn. Even after close to 20 years myself, and feeling like an expert, I learned something new in this video - and it feels good to learn.

What I learned happens to deal with the accessibility of help and how easily you can find help within the specific areas of FileMaker Pro.

This video starts off a new series about taking full advantage of the FileMaker development environment. There's one thing in common which some software users do when working with new software. It's to start with taking a look at all the menu options available.

While this is a great place to start, if you don't have any background, you don't know what the implications are of those various menu options. How can you use what's available? What are some of the unique options which may apply? How does that menu item factor into what you want to accomplish? What are the other parts of the software you need to know and where's a good place to start?

These are the types of questions I seek to answer within this series. I'd like to leverage my many years of working with this great database application and help you discover things you may not have known existed. Or, at the very least, validate what you may already know.
