Philosophy of Scripting Training
|
|
|
These are the
classes I developed based on my wildly popular
book and CD ROM, Scriptology - FileMaker Pro Demystified. Philosophy of Scripting 101
is a three day intermediate scripting and calculation course. Philosophy of Scripting 201 is a two day advanced scripting and
calculation course.
 The curriculum for these classes has
been rewritten from the ground up to include more hands-on exercises
and the latest techniques for FileMaker Pro 7, 8, 8.5 and 9!

Beyond the Basics

Beyond the Basics is based on the original Relational Database Design course from Claris Corporation covering one-to-many, many-to-many and one-to-one relationships as well as ER diagramming.
Finds, Sorts, Importing, Exporting, Scripting, Reporting, Calculations and much more have been added to this two day curriculum. An extra day of web publishing and advanced topics can be added
to the curriculum.

Reporting
|
|
|
This class has a boring name but reporting is one of the most important skills to have under your belt beyond relational design and
scripting. Too many people don't think about reporting until after they have designed their database. This class teaches you to think about what reports
you will need before it is too late to change the structure of your system.
- Summary fields including Fraction of Total
- Subsummary parts
- Multiple subsummary parts
- Percentages
- GetSummary function
- Calculations
- Automation (Scripting)
- Reports with Columns
- Sliding Objects
- Finds (restoring)
- Sorts (restoring)
- Page Breaks
- Grand Summaries
- Headers and Footers
- Insert items
- Page Totals (e.g. page 4 of 10)
- Custom titles
- Creating a phone directory
- Printing portals the right way
- Printing one of each like label
This class is only taught privately for FileMaker versions 3, 4, 5, 5.5 and 6. To find out more, contact John Mark Osborne.

Training Testimonials

I really love teaching people how to use FileMaker Pro. It is so
exciting to see that light bulb go off in students' heads when they finally understand a FileMaker concept or learn
something they never thought FileMaker could accomplish.
If you are struggling with the cost, travel or time commitment for a quality FileMaker class, perhaps some former students of mine can convince you.
I get tons of testimonials
every time I teach a class, and I am always amazed at how my classes change the lives of the students. Click on the
