FileMaker Fundamentals
During this training day, you get an introduction to creating an app with FileMaker Pro . You learn how to design an app by organizing data, providing it with an interface and by creating automations, allowing users to use it. All aspects of creating an app are covered without making you a real developer.
By providing you with an understanding of the different areas related to the development of a FileMaker app, this training also allows you to assess your desire to pursue developer training and / or the knowledge necessary to support an internal or external development project.
Target Group
This training session is intended for people who want to make a simple solution in FileMaker Pro. Or for people who would like to implement some simple, functional changes to their own FileMaker application. Or for those who want to better understand how their FileMaker application is built, but who have no ambition to become a FileMaker developer.
