Editorial Review
FileMaker Pro 8 is an award-winning database program. This version of the software continues to build on FileMaker 7's radical update, making this book essential not only to beginners but also intermediate users and professionals who need to get up to speed with all the changes. This book covers it all, with topics ranging from defining database terms, security, and converting files from previous FileMaker Pro versions to using files on the Web, creating reports and scripts, and using FileMaker Mobile and XML.

excellent for beginners

2008-07-11
living far away from any training possibilities and having no clue about databases or filemaker, I got FileMaker Pro 9 and this book. Following all instructions right through gave me a very good basis and understanding. Together with FileMaker Pro Business Applications: For versions 8 and 8.5 and FileMaker Pro 9 Bible I attempted the design of a business solution for my small business and am very happy with the result. Got there without training and all is explained very well. I found this book very helpful.

It's okay

It contain good info for people who want to use this software from fresh to build customers database. It didn't mention much about if people want to import the database from Excel spread sheet and to build a rational database from all different "tables" from the pre-set ones are very complicated. At least not as easy as what it's described in the text that "no programming skills" required.

No Color No Visuals No Good

2007-08-25
As a Mac and FileMaker user, I like the visual nature of most applications and books that explain to use them. However, this book only has small, barely legible greyscale screenshots that don't help you understand anything. I bought this book because of the reviews, that, as a result of recently meeting an author, now know must be by friends and family. It didn't even have a CD that provides examples for tutuorials. I recommend looking around.

Great way to learn Filemaker

2007-01-09
This book is personably written and a comprehensive introduction to the complexities of Filmaker. The chapters are well laid out and the example scripts, layout and tables are relevant. There is a great deal of explanation which is relevant, and much better than a reference book as it ties in a lot of ideas together. I prefered it to the Filemaker bible 8.5 which I bought at the same time. The only disadvantage I found is that one had to follow the whole chapeter to understand the examples, and often they drew on the previous chapeters to make sense. Well worth it!
