The implementation of OData at the core of how FileMaker Server returns and updates data is critical to understand in today’s interconnected world. Knowing not only that OData exists and is available, but also how it works, gives you another practical tool when interacting with your FileMaker solutions.
Because OData supports all CRUD operations and does so without the same requirements as the Data API, such as requiring a layout, it becomes essential knowledge whether you are using a server, working in a serverless environment, building a microservice, or exploring other ways of interconnecting FileMaker.
For many hesitant adopters, this can mean learning a new technology, possibly purchasing new tools, and investing time to become familiar with how everything works. In this video, I take my existing knowledge of the foundational technology embedded within FileMaker and use it to create a very simple, easy to use solution for experimenting with OData.
As we work through the topics in this video, you will learn more than how to experiment with OData. You will also gain insight into how to explore and implement other critical web technologies as well.
