Third-party Press Release
FileMaker Design Master Class in London 24-26 October
FileMaker International sponsors the class, featuring Albert Harum- Alvarez and guest instructor Chris Manton
International announced today that SmallCo's Design Master Class
will
be offered in London for the first time, on 24-26 October. SmallCo
has offered the Master Class for six years at locations across
North
America.
At a music conservatory, the Master Class is for advanced
students,
whose own projects become the class curriculum. That's the way it
works with the Design Master Class, taught by Albert Harum-Alvarez
and special guest Christopher Manton. Admission is by interview
only,
and requires that each student bring a database — a 'master piece'
—
to the class. That database will evolve and advance over three
days,
based on the principles discussed in class.
Albert has been a featured speaker at six FileMaker Developer
Conferences, and is principal of Small Company
(http://SmallCo.net).
Chris Manton, owner of Babelfix Limited (http://www.babelfix.com),
has been a speaker as well at the FileMaker DevCon, has trained
for
FileMaker International, and has presented at MacWorld and FSA
meetings in the UK.
Students Praise the Master Class
"Thoroughly enjoyed the three days! From the very start the light
bulbs were popping on and I could see where improvements in our
designs could be easily made." Doug Munich, FileMaker developer,
Vancouver, Canada.
"Three very productive days! I arrived feeling very uncertain and
was
immediately make welcome and comfortable. We all learned from each
other as well as from the instructor. I've moved to a whole new
level
of skill." Florence Ross, RN, in-house developer, Alberta,
Canada.
"Unfortunately, for many developers the interface is the weakest
part
of their work and the most problematic to get right. Fortunately,
Small Company lead the way in interface design and they are
willing
to share their secrets. But they don't just give hints and tips.
Their philosophy and clean design are the standard to which all
developers should aspire." Peter Makin, DataWaves International,
London, England.
