Book Overview: In 2004 FileMaker won more awards than the combined total given to seven top competitors. FileMaker Pro is a unique combination of an easy-to-use desktop application and a serious programming tool. It is widely adopted, inexpensive, and well known. The launch of FileMaker Pro 7 in 2004 heralded a major new direction for the platform and introduced major new capabilities in a totally re-engineered product. With 10 million registered customers, FileMaker's users are average Joes who are knowledge workers, subject matter experts, and business users from all walks of life. FileMaker Pro's legendary ease-of-use has led to its wide adoption and has allowed non-programmers an avenue into creating software solutions. This book will serve to help bridge the gaps in these people's understanding of FileMaker's hundreds of calculation functions, script steps, and operations. They know FileMaker, they've used it for years, but they need a immediately accessible reference while not interrupting their work on screen.Finally, there's no other book like it on the market. All FileMaker books include information on calculation formulas, and scripting, but none published have expressly focused on giving readers one simple thing: a quick reference to be used in conjunction with their programming efforts. Some books teach, others explain, still others explore specific in-depth topics. This book appeals to the entire FileMaker Pro community and be a great extension of their library.
