FileMaker Consulting
Hello everyone!
Welcome to FileMaker training for 2020. My name is Richard Carlton and I'm going to be the instructor for this course. The FileMaker platform released in 2020 is the latest version of this fantastic software released by Claris corporation. In fact, a lot of you are probably wondering why we're not calling it FileMaker Incorporated or over the last 12 months, FileMaker Incorporated which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Apple, has reverted its name back to Claris Corporation. In fact they now go by the name of Claris International. What does this signify to you is a FileMaker developer, well this signifies a continuing emphasis on modernizing the FileMaker platform to make it meaningful and relevant in terms of the latest technologies and frankly the latest expectations that users have for delivering and building great custom applications.
In fact over the course of this year we do expect the versioning and the naming of the product to change a little bit. So I'm just proactively calling my training for this year the 2020 release. Now you may be an experienced developer who's been using FileMaker for a long time or maybe you're brand new and just taking your first steps with this great platform. We have come to the great place for some fantastic training. I've been developing training for over seven years and this year is my 30th year of working in the FileMaker platform. I have a great team of engineers and video editors that's dedicated to bringing you the best FileMaker Training available. My goal is to answer your questions about the FileMaker platform and to make you as successful as possible in building and deploying custom applications using this fantastic software. The FileMaker platform is all about saving time and money. Really when you simplify it, it's all about saving big wads of cash.
In fact we frequently have conversations about return on investment because that's really important in the modern world that we live in. If you're a business or an educational institution or even a non-profit, you want to save money by building great custom applications for your team and the FileMaker platform is a great tool to help you improve business efficiency. The file maker platform is really about bringing innovation to you and your team, to solve the problems that you see within your organization. Typical organization starts out, maybe using Excel or post-it notes or they might even use some other off-the-shelf piece of software. But that software is frequently not tuned to solve their needs. Well the FileMaker platform is all about building a customized application that's designed specifically to support your organizational needs. By building a custom application that's tuned for your organization, each member of your team can become more efficient. They will complete many more tasks during the day and do so in a much more organized and efficient manner. And they will do it with far fewer errors. FileMaker brings this organization and efficiency to every organization that it touches.
In plain English, FileMaker is a force multiplier if you're a corporation using FileMaker your existing team will be much more efficient. If your team is completing say 10 tasks during the day, they're frequently able to complete double or triple that number because you have created for them a customized application that specifically helps them support their existing workflow. When I say that organizations use FileMaker everyday, I mean any kind of organization. Over a million people a day worldwide click into FileMaker and use it in some capacity. Large fortune 100 companies use FileMaker within various departments. Educational institutions use FileMaker every day to drive their educational processes to keep organized. Nonprofit organizations love to use FileMaker to track their activities. For example in an animal rescue. FileMaker is commonly used by all these organizations, because it allows users to build custom applications that are tuned to their workflow. This video course on the FileMaker platform 2020 is designed specifically to teach you everything you need to know about building a custom application.
We're including information on how to build your application using FileMaker Pro on Mac or Windows, as well as deployment and other considerations for mobile devices with FileMaker Go for iPhone or iPad. Additionally, we have sections that cover webdirect which is your browser-based client that your team can use to access your custom application. As opposed to years past, we have taken our server and cloud conversations and pulled them out to a separate course just on deployment. So if you're interested in learning about deploying to FileMaker server for Mac Windows or Linux or FileMaker Cloud, then we have a separate course that covers just that material.
So the focus of this course is planning out a custom application and understanding how to build the underlying relational database. Because at the core of your custom application is a database that organizes and manages the data we're going to spend a great deal of time talking about how to correctly build your application so it scales to many users. So each of those users can have a positive experience while accessing your custom application as it's being hosted on a cloud server. And of course we're going to talk about mobile design considerations as well as web browser deployment using the web direct technology.
This year marks 30 years for me working with the FileMaker platform and I'm really excited about the latest release here in 2020.
I can't wait to get started and I'll see you in the next video.
We want to know your needs to better provide you with the right information.
Richard Carlton Consulting (RCC) offers potential new customers a FREE one-hour consultation with a RCC Senior Engineer. Consultation which is preparation and evaluation for a development project (but no actual work on your solution). The goal of the consultation is to better understand the customers needs and to be able to provide a preliminary proposal for the customer's review.
Depending upon the depth of the project, RCC may only be able to provide a cursory outline of the project in the proposal, without sufficient depth of detail to allow a financial estimate. In such cases RCC will map out a "discovery phase" which will result in a proposal that will contain sufficient detail as to include a financial estimate.
During the one-hour consultation, RCC will typically perform a basic check of the customer's database server(s) and database(s), looking for gross deficiencies of which the customer is unaware. Often RCC must work to identify these deficiencies that are left by other consultants and IT staff, who are not sufficiently skilled in database management, or best practices.
Our senior engineering staff is available on both short term and long term contracts. At customer request, our proposals may be fixed cost, or based on actual time and materials.
Call (707) 422-4053 to schedule your free consultation now. (9AM to 5PM Pacific time) or send email to support@rcconsulting.com
