Third-party Press Release
FileMaker Design Master Class in Miami Beach, March 20-22
SmallCo's Design Master Class will be offered in Miami's South
Beach
for the third time, on March 20-22. SmallCo has offered the
Master
Class for six years at locations across North America and
Europe.
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.
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).
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.
Pricing and Availability
The three day course tuition is $1,500. Discounts are available
to
the second attendee from the same organization. More info is
