Bonus: Book includes a 50% off Coupon for FileMaker 17 Video Course

Description: FileMaker is an awesome tool for solving business or organizational problems…for Millions of users weekly! However, by itself, FileMaker won’t solve your business problems.

For you to achieve success with FileMaker…you need guidance.

There are already books available on FileMaker, and even more resources available on the web and in workshops, classes, etc. But these sources consist almost entirely of instruction on how to use FileMaker’s tools, and not how to properly design a custom app. The single most glaring omission for the newcomer is a basic list of do’s, don’ts and other advice to help you get started on the right foot. This book will help prevent you from making significant design errors that could cause you trouble down the road.

The key to building a good custom app is a good design. Good design stems from knowing which structures and techniques will suit your needs, and which will not. That is the purpose of this document... to warn you about pitfalls and advise you of basic design concepts that will help you start out on the right foot.

New capabilities exist with the FileMaker 17 Platform we address those in the 17 version of this book.
