Filemaker Pro 8 by Geoff Coffey

Filemaker Pro 8 by Geoff Coffey

Used by millions worldwide, FileMaker Pro is an award-winning database program for managing people, projects, images, assets, and other information. It's easy to use and totally customizable - so long as you know what you're doing. But FileMaker Pro doesn't come with a printed manual, so "FileMaker Pro: The Missing Manual" is the authoritative, jargon-free book that should have been in the box. "FileMaker Pro: The Missing Manual" approaches FileMaker the way FileMaker approaches you: it's user-friendly and seemingly straightforward enough, but it offers plenty of substance worthy of deeper exploration. Packed with practical information as well as countless expert tips and invaluable guidance, it's an in-depth guide to designing and building useful databases with the powerful and pliable FileMaker Pro. Covering FileMaker for both Windows and Macintosh, "FileMaker Pro: The Missing Manual" is ideal for small business users, home users, school teachers, developers - anyone who wants to organize information efficiently and effectively. Whether you want to run a business, publish a shopping cart on the Web, plan a wedding, manage a student information system at your school, or program databases for clients, this book delivers. The author, Geoff Coffey has many years of experience using FileMaker Pro (he was, in fact, an early beta tester for the product). The author, Susan Prosser is a FileMaker Certified Developer who trains other developers. Together, Coffey and Prosser show you how to: get FileMaker up and running quickly and smoothly; import and organize information with ease; design relational databases that are simple to use, yet powerful; take advantage of FileMaker Pro calculation capabilities; automate processes with scripting; customize FileMaker Pro to your needs and preferences; share information with other people (coworkers, clients, and customers) and other programs; and understand and select the best security options. What could easily come across as dry and intimidating - things like relational theory, calculations, and scripting - are presented in a way that is interesting and intuitive to mainstream users. In no time, you'll be working more productively and efficiently using FileMaker Pro.

Geoff Coffey has years of FileMaker Pro experience and is an early beta tester. Susan Prosser is a reformed journalist who's stopped trying to bring information to the people and now helps them manage the data they already have. Susan's developed FileMaker databases for 12 years, but returns to her roots by training and writing curriculum for other developers.
