Authorized Training

[ANN] Charting webinar series has launched

Thu, 01 Jul 2010 20:29:24 GMT

Full press release here

SavvyData today announced the successful conversion of their 'Ace of Charts' hands-on workshop to a live online instructional format. The new webinar series delivers the core of the workshop’s material while also providing the advantages normally associated with online meetings. Online learners benefit by avoiding travel costs and time, and have the option to select sessions that match their level of knowledge and interest. SavvyData can now bring this knowledge to developers across the globe, via a series of standalone webinar sessions affordably priced at US$79 each. With each session, attendees also receive working example files that they can immediately adapt for their own solutions.

About ‘Ace of Charts’ Webinar Series
This course reveals the Art and Science of adding data visualization to FileMaker Pro solutions. By participating in a live web conference meeting, attendees learn how to produce accurate, attractive graphs using various current charting technologies.

The webinar series consists of four sessions, each designed to stand on its own and yet contribute a particular topic to the larger whole. Sessions may be attended in any order (although starting with Session #1 is recommended). Each session is comprised of 75 minutes of live presentation and interaction, followed by a 10-minute Q&A period. To facilitate excellent instructor-student communication, sessions are limited to 15 attendees.

Four different methods for constructing charts in FileMaker are covered, to provide deployment options appropriate for any organization:
• The built-in chart layout object introduced in FileMaker Pro 11
• Plug-ins and container fields (xmCHART from x2max, 360Works Chart)
• The Web Viewer and HTML/Flash/CSS/JavaScript (e.g. FusionCharts, Maani, Google Charts API)
• FileMaker non-chart indicator methods (merge variables, conditional formatting, repeating fields) that still have a place in providing visual information and feedback (especially useful for dashboards)

Recommended for:
• In-house developers* responding to management’s requests
• Independent developers* wishing to provide additional functionality
• Anyone* who currently exports to Microsoft Excel for charting
(*attendees should be comfortable with editing FileMaker Pro layouts, creating calculation formulas, and relating table occurrences)

Filemaker Pro 11 Training Series

Sat, 26 Jun 2010 22:56:23 GMT

I am contemplating buying the Filemaker Training series and am wondering if purchasing the "boxed" package also allows for download also (which would be useful while waiting for the package to arrive), or are they strictly separate items (download vs boxed).

Any advantages to either, beyond the obvious?

Advice on preparing for the FM 10 Certification Exam

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 15:17:04 GMT

Hello all:

I just finished with the FM 10 Training manual and was wondering if some of the FM 10 Certified Developers could give me some advice as to the best method to prepare for the FM Certification Exam.

I'm planning on reading the white papers and downloading the PDF documentation but any general insight would be greatly appreciated.
