Summary

FileMaker Pro has over 7 million users, making it one of the most popular database software applications in the world, yet documentation is limited, and there is a pressing need for resources that cover the basics of FileMaker software as well as current database development issues. FileMaker Pro 6 Complete is a complete reference to FileMaker Pro. It teaches beginning, intermediate, and advanced developers how to go beyond the user manual to create robust and dynamic database systems from the ground up. The book begins with an introduction to the FileMaker Pro database environment and relational databases in general and includes coverage of advanced topics such as Web-enabling databases, integration with external applications, ODBC, using plugins, development standards, and project planning techniques.
