This book was created following the enormous success of the
FileMaker Functions & Reference Chart debuted at
the 2006 FileMaker Developer’s Conference (DevCon).
DevCon provided a spring board for the chart’s burgeoning
success, quickly making it a sought after resource for FileMaker
developers worldwide. While well-regarded for its content, the size
of the chart was reported as rather cumbersome and lacked
portability. It was true – the chart being
poster size lent itself more to wallpaper than a desk reference.
Rather than reproducing something that people could use
to decorate their room, we decided instead to create a product that
best met the needs of the community. The feedback proved
invaluable, and ultimately lead us down the path of (vast)
improvement.
“Lays flat on your desk so you don’t have
to”
The format of this book was deliberated over almost as much as the
content. Let’s face it, most “perfect
bound” desk references aren’t very cooperative
when it comes to staying put, some might say they have a mind of
their own. One minute you’re reading page 233 and in a
flash, the book has reverted to page 145, or has closed all
together! It became imperative we create a very cooperative desk
reference that promised to lay flat without a fight. Thus, the
spiral format was voted-in and marked the end to the deliberation.
Though the new choice of formatting offered us the opportunity to
expand on the content covered, but choosing the
“right” content became paramount. The goal
quickly became to create a readily accessible, indispensable little
gem for FileMaker developers -- no matter their level of expertise.
As a result, all the information was hand-picked, covering key
topics that we as developers rely on each and everyday.
It’s a concoction of books, reference manuals, guides,
application help files and original work, distilled into a single
convenient source. Staying true to its name, we believe this book
will prove to be an “everything reference” and
a useful addyour information arsenal.
