Hey guys, Appologies if this is the wrong forum. I am both new to this site as well as FileMaker. After doing research as well as speaking with people I am thinking that FM is the way that I am looking to push the company I work for to go.

I realistically wont start building anything for 6 months or so - so Im looking to take that time to learn. I found the FileMaker 10 Bible (as well as ealier versions) - but it does not look like theres anything for 12. Would this be relevant enough to apply to version 12? Are there better books out…

Rob Poelking, one of the many talented Lead Developers from Excelisys, has just authored “RealtyBiz”: a free and unlocked proof-of-concept demonstration of an effective FileMaker Go mobile application.

I've been evaluating both Inspector Pro 3 and Base Elements 3. I'm a very small developer, so for me, either of these tools is a significant investment. I've been surprised by the lack of any comprehensive review of a recent version of either of these tools, let alone a thorough comparison.

There is a quite a lot of overlap in their capabilities, though the interface design is different. Unfortunately, they both suffer from lack of detailed documentation, tutorials, etc. As a result, the learning curve is steep, and I suspect it would ta…
