It’s been a while since I posted a blog, so apologies to all you Linear Chatters. We have been very busy here at Linear Blue! In addition to our ongoing projects, we have just opened a new office in London and launched a brand new service – ‘Cortela’.
Last week Linear Blue turned 10! This is a happy occassion for Linear Blue, we are delighted with our successful solutions created with clients over the last 10 years. The company was founded in April 2000, by Paul de Hallé to specialise in his passion for advanced cross platform database development.
A few versions ago FileMaker added the ability to pass parameters to and receive parameters from scripts.
The main new user feature within FileMaker 11 is its ability to allow you to easily produce charts directly within FileMaker.
Well what do you do when a client says they need a running total in a portal? The first thing that came to mind was some sort of self join summing related records and nasty filters to make it all sequential. Yuck.
As the latest person to join Linear Blue I should probably introduce myself to everyone and make a start on my first blog entry here.
I am continuing to work on an ESS integration project and one of the biggest issues is speed when dealing with large record sets from MySQL.
Automated server based scripts for Importing or Exporting are a great way of moving time consuming jobs away from users. Whether it is exporting a report from a complex find or generating records overnight to save the users time during the day, there are two very important things to remember.
I had a conference call with a client, one of their biggest customers and the customers’ developers the other day. Both the customer and my client are having new systems written (my client in FileMaker, my client’s customer in MySQL and, i guess, HTML) and they are both keen on integrating stock figures.
