IT'S NOT FILEMAKER
* Brandi Carlile Matt can't stop listening to this artist. Usually, I prefer guitar-driven music, since I play guitar, but this is emotion-driven vocal music that's very powerful.
* SnapTell Takes pictures of books, dvds, and other media. Looks up the meta-data and adds to your library, similar to the Delicious application for Mac.

FILEMAKER COOL

  • Matt: Command double-click to set trigger properties for an object on a layout.
  • Excelisys: Use 'Set Field By Name' script step in FileMaker 10: Some actual examples of how this can save time and simplify scripting.

Interview questions:
1. You have done some really cool stuff with script triggers, such as drag and drop for sorting and moving data. Tell me more about the Drag and Drop examples.

  1. What’s next?
  2. What are some of the ways you are extending FileMaker for actual customer solutions - PHP, iPhone Apps, mySQL, Plug-Ins, etc.
  3. Let’s talk Flex - you’re also developing. How is it different/better?
  4. BizTracker - update for FM10. What’s new and cool? Multiple sorted columns and more
  5. How have the changes in the economy affected your business, both from the talent and client angles?
