Rick Whitelaw Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Although there are plenty of forum members more qualified to dole out advice, I've been reading a large number of posts and examining example files whose authors could benefit from my advice. I think it's a good idea for many, if not most, people to learn about database principles away from the computer. When I began trying to get a grasp on FileMaker I purchased the FileMaker 8 Bible and studied it away from a computer then later tried out concepts on a computer. That way I wouldn't be in a huge hurry. Nor would I turn to a forum immediately for a quick answer to a simple question. I'm a musician and have had to become familiar with lots of music over the years. I found it, after being advised by a friend, very advantageous to read through a score away from my instrument at first . . . Then learn to play it after I understood something about it, perhaps the bigger picture. My 2 cents, Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Learning database principles, and learning how to use FMP are two different things. A person can learn how to use FMP without learning database principles. They won't make good databases though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
