2 out of 5 stars Not for Starters   November 1, 2008

This book goes deep...very deep, and does not take your hand. So there is a lot of info (Bible suggests all). But how do I create a SIMPLE database? Anyway I ordered the Missing Manual and keep this book at hand if I'm ready for it.


1 out of 5 stars For IT experts only   October 19, 2008

Do NOT buy this book unless you are an IT professional or otherwise very familiar already with database programs.
A much better choice for someone needing to set up FileMakerPro for use in their own business or personal life is The Missing Manual for FileMakerPro. It is much more informative, much better written and teaches the reader everything they need to know to create a very powerful FileMakerPro solution in a logical order.



3 out of 5 stars Good overview, short on details.   August 17, 2008
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book is a solid 'lay of the land' type of overview with a few good examples sprinkled in. As someone who's done a fair amount of coding in other scripting applications (actionScript, lingo, php, mysql, lasso etc) and someone who's purchased this book with the hope of finding a decent treatment of FileMaker Pro's scripting capabilities, I found this book less useful than the manual.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent book   July 29, 2008

I really am enjoying this book a lot. Packed with very deep explanations and very useful tricks and tips. I am only half way through the book, and by now I feel it was an excellent purchase.


5 out of 5 stars Super Genius!!!   July 25, 2008

I've been in the FileMaker market for 18 years and accomplished many things but I have never taken a FileMaker class or read a book. For me to purchase a book and read it says a lot about the author and his brilliance. Don't buy any other FileMaker book.
