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.

SavvyData Announces New 'Dashing Dashboards' FileMaker Training

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 05:10:47 GMT

Learn how to go about creating graphical information dashboards for your FileMaker-centric solution. Once the exclusive purview of large corporations, the last few years interactive data visualization systems have become known and affordable to small and midsize organizations. The term Business Intelligence (BI) has come into widespread use only in the last 10 years; this class distills the current body of BI knowledge. We’ll describe the technical and business processes you’ll need to follow to implement visual dashboards, scorecards, and other decision support systems that monitor selected key performance indicators (KPIs).

Recommended for...
• In-house developers* responding to management’s requests
• Independent developers* wishing to provide additional functionality
• Managers* of developers of information visualization systems
(*attendees should be comfortable with FileMaker layout mode, calculation fields, and relating tables; Savvy ‘Ace of Charts’ class as a prerequisite is highly recommended)

This Savvy Dashboards class provides a revealing look into the current thinking and best practices around information visualization. We recognize our debt to the works of Edward Tufte, Alan Cooper, Stephen Few, The Data Warehousing Institute, various CHI (computer-human interaction) groups, and other pioneers of datavis usability.

You’ll learn about designing effective information display and user interaction capabilities appropriate for your audience. Apply the best information design every time using the “three threes”—a convenient memory hook representing the distinctions between systems that:
• measure, monitor or manage performance metrics, for
• operations, tactical or strategic purposes.

Additional Topics Covered:
• Your Current Environment: assessing factors for success
• Dashboard Design Dogma: Simplicity, Usability, Efficacy, Interactivity
• Information Architecture Insight: how people perceive
• Focus on the Data: clean, normalized, usable, reliable
• Focus on the User: the right information in the right style to the right person
• Focus on the Purpose: serving the big picture by making sure the pieces fit
• Development Methods: tools, techniques, and templates
• Deployment Realities: caveats and provisos to anticipate
• Completion: tips to aid transition and closure
