Pause On Error

It was great rub shoulders with FileMaker Developers at Pause On Error! Plenty of Connecting, Discovering & Sharing.

I wish I could have met everyone & attend all the sessions, but that was impossible! The sessions I was able to attend were:

  • Todd Geist (geistinteractive): Universal Context You can get there from here!
  • Sam Barnum (360 Works): Publishing FileMaker to the Web – with Cutting-Edge Javascript Frameworks
  • Brian Schick (Beezwax): Power JavaScript
  • Ross Mackintosh (Datamate): The FMP URL: A Revolution in Architecting Large Data Sets
  • Dave Graham (Workforce.org): Let’s Party! – pitfalls and benefits to implementing a Party Model and generalized frameworks in FileMaker.
  • John Renfrew: The Circle of Metadata – Round trip – grab data from FMP layouts – create PDF files with Javascript and webviewer – return into container fields. Why? PSOS, Go and WebDirect.
  • Kevin Frank: Runtime Code – and other techniques that blur the distinction between schema and data
  • Tim Owen: FMS13 Managed Container Storage

Truly a lot to discover and an amazing group of people!

FileMaker DevCon 2014

Texas Longhorn

Texas longhorn at FileMaker DevCon

I had a great time last week at FileMaker’s DevCon! In addition to meeting many great people and gaining new insights into the FileMaker platform, I had my picture taken with a massive, but docile, Texas longhorn!

I enjoyed meeting skilled developers creating a wide variety of practical solutions in many industries. It will take time to process all the information from the many presentations given. And I found that the FileMaker, Inc. staff to be very friendly and helpful, including FileMaker president Dominique Goupil, who hails from France. Great first DevCon with a taste to go again!

Completed JumpStart FM

JumpStartFM

Molly Connolly, JumpStart FM

For most of the month of June, I participated in an online course JumpStart FM. The course was coordinated and lead by Molly Connolly of Thorsen Consulting, with classes taught by industry experts like: Cris Ippolite, Dave Knight, Matt Navarre, and Debbie Zempel. Topics, designed to equip developers with skills in the various facets of FileMaker solution development, included: Customer Service, Needs Analysis, Project Management, Trouble Shooting, and Quality Assurance. Additionally the course included hands-on projects with feedback on your work. I appreciated the broad exposure to different methods and ideas useful for meeting client needs, as well as great connections with experienced professionals in the industry.
