Are FileMaker plug-ins dead?
January 20th, 2012

The release of FileMaker Go has added a new variable to the equation we use when considering whether to use a FileMaker plug-in. We are experiencing a big shift to mobile solutions. Within less than a year ignoring the iOS platform became an unforgivable mistake for every FileMaker developer.

Moving Data Within FileMaker using XML

This is a concept shown by Fabrice Nordmann at this years Pause on Error London.
Having seen how he uses this, I have used it in a couple of solutions and found that it does make moving data around really easy and saves on creating lots of variables, so cuts down development time as well.

Phidgets Pt 1 The Hardware
November 2nd, 2011

We are just about to start a project to allow employees to log in and out of a FileMaker system using RFID tags. In the past we have done this by hanging a Phidget RFID reader directly off the back of a computer. In the past we have always had a computer available for the purpose but this project not only has the requirement for a number of readers to be distributed around a factory but the readers have to work substantially faster than FileMaker and an attached phidget can work.

In Memory of Steve Jobs

From the age of 11 back in 1980, when I got my hands on my first computer, I was kind of obsessed by them. Through school, all the way to college, my fate was sealed to be a true computer geek. It was then in ’86 that I came across my first Apple, my very own Apple IIe, and then shortly after I got to work with Macintosh. It was love at first sight. In a very short space of time family and friends saw me turn into a true Apple Macintosh Evangelist, which I’ve remained to this day. For years i’d been working with computers that ran code, from Basic to Pascal, Assembly to Cobol and now here was a computer with a Graphical User Interface that just worked. It was a machine that allowed you to perform a task without having to be an uber-geek that spent all night writing code in dark rooms. It changed my life and influenced the way that I look at and design systems today.
